Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe

The school website states: 'We encourage all Wycombiensians to be self-confident, positive, healthy and inquiring young men acquiring the qualities of tolerance and respectfulness embodied through a modesty of manner.

Most of our students are day boys. Boarding, however, has a unique capacity to shape the lives of young people. Full, weekly and day boarding is on offer and plays a significant role within the life of the school.

Above all, we seek to give our boys the tools to be the inspirational leaders of tomorrow as they embark on careers of distinction, influence and service.'

The range of activities available to put pupils at the RGS is constantly evolving as pupils are encouraged to bring new projects initiatives to the school's attention. Pupils can look forward to a horizon of opportunity beyond academic learning. These interests are pursued initially through group activities learning outdoor skills and trips to the Jurassic coast, and quickly expand into a range of initiatives including photography, cookery, or even adventures to China and Madagascar. The school's extra-curricular programme has helped shape the future of top golfers, sports broadcasters, radio producers, performers, authors, journalists ,FI mechanics, army personnel and more.
