If your child has outgrown their school uniform and PE kit, is moving to Senior School, or is leaving in Y11/Y13, please consider donating pre-loved items to Threadaware.❤️

Your donations not only support the environment; they are super helpful for parents, who can buy RGS items at a reduced cost whilst supporting the Bursary Campaign.

Please drop any clean items that are in good condition - ideally with names already removed - at any of our receptions.

📍We currently have a surplus of Y7/Y8 maroon jumpers and therefore do not require any further items at the moment.

📍We would be extremely grateful to receive any Castore items, especially Red PE tops, Black PE tops, PE shorts and Skorts, which are low in stock.

It is one year since the whole school said 'Quincentenary'.📸✨

Years 3 to 13 kept their cool during one of the hottest school days as they came together for a very special RGS500 whole school photograph.

RGS Junior School laid the foundation of the photograph by forming our Quincentenary dates, 1525–2025, while the rest of the school united to create a striking ‘500’ on the field - a powerful expression of unity and shared legacy.

Did you know? RGS whole school photographs date back to 1866. Find out more👇 https://www.rgs.newcastle.sch.uk/500th/school-life-and-traditions/school-photographs/~board/school-life-traditions/post/school-photographs

We hope you enjoy the below 'behind the scenes' shots!

Aristotelian Essay Competition✍️

Congratulations to our creative Year 9 students who, as part of their final Key Stage 3 Project, further developed key life skills - from curiosity, to independence, resilience and critical thinking - through extended research essays.

The very best entries were submitted to the prestigious Aristotelian Essay Competition, hosted by The P***e School, Cambridge, and we are thrilled to share that Evangeline B (pictured below) and Jinan C achieved Highly Commended!

This is a fantastic recognition of our students' depth of thinking, originality, and determination. We are incredibly proud of how everyone embraced the challenge and grew as independent learners.💫

RGS House Debating | Congratulations to... Eldon.🏆

Earlier this term, we were delighted to welcome back Lord Kirkhope (ON 57-63) to judge the annual house debating final.

Maria S-P and Imogem S (Stowell), Max B and Henry R (Collingwood), Oliver R and Dylan D (Horsely), as well as Avantika A and Ann O-G (Eldon) debated the motion: "This house believes that the future will be better than the past."

Reflecting on the final, our Head Student Bobbie D, said: "While we do not know the answer, having watched the debate, we can say that the future is in very safe hands."

Debating is our longest-standing co-curricular club, dating back to 1886, and has been chaired by many eminent Old Novos. The passion that fuelled its creation remains strong today, with every student on the Miller Theatre stage delivering persuasive arguments both for and against this year’s motion.

Well done to all involved and congratulations to Eldon, our Hill House Debating Cup 2026 winners!
