The Royal School

It is hard to beat the position of our school, nestled in an area of outstanding natural beauty and safe at the top of Farnham Lane, yet close enough to Haslemere train station to hop on a train to explore the busy hotspots of London or the cobbled streets, shops and cultural venues of Guildford. We believe in the best in everyone and are dedicated to developing character in our young people. 

Academic excellence and a belief that outstanding pastoral care must underpin everything we do is a powerful combination in enabling that happiness and success. Our pupils are engaged in their learning, supportive of one another and open, polite and positive when you meet them.

As an organisation that embraces modern ideas but is steeped in tradition and history, we are proud of our 180 years of history and privileged to have HRH The Princess Royal as our President. 

In 2022 The Royal School was shortlisted in two categories in the prestigious Tes Schools Awards 2022: for Headteacher of the Year and Boarding School of the Year. It is testament to our excellent teachers and staff whose belief is finding the best in everyone and going the extra mile for our pupils. In boarding, we believe it is the little details that make a happy home from home environment. Our commitment is to ensure pupils are emotionally, intellectually and practically ready for their future. Our unique and bespoke Future Ready Programme provides opportunities beyond the traditional curriculum to develop skills that make us uniquely human.
