As a small, friendly community, our students are treated as individuals, ensuring they are happy and successful, acquiring the life skills needed to prosper in the modern world. Headmaster Mr. Mark Heywood
The Royal is a small, cohesive community with a friendly atmosphere for both day pupils and boarders alike. Our strong academic tradition is based upon individual attention and encouragement, as well as excellent pastoral care founded on respect, tolerance and understanding of others. Students achieve their full academic potential, whilst a wide range of extra-curricular activities is available to develop character and leadership.
We prepare pupils for Oxbridge and other top universities while also catering to pupils of all abilities. The School regularly achieves high standards in both A-Level and G.C.S.E. results, particularly in STEM subjects of mathematics and the sciences. The Royal combines traditional values with a modern outlook and a ‘real-world’ attitude. At The Royal, education is about developing the whole individual.
