About us

RGS is an exceptional place with a proud tradition, dating back 1562, of educating young people. We have high academic standards, excellent examination results and consistently feature amongst the top state schools in England. Almost all students progress to good universities including approximately 9 to Oxford and Cambridge. Our broad, balanced and very ambitious curriculum is not the full story and we look far beyond its confines with a vast array of co‑curricular opportunities unparalleled, I believe, in the state sector. Our innovative teachers deliver a high‑quality classroom experience combined with exceptional pastoral care. We ensure that, in this large school, every student is known as an individual. We encourage all Wycombiensiens to be self‑confident, positive, healthy and enquiring young minds and to live and breathe OW values embodied through a modesty of manner. The result is a happy, close‑knit community where we enjoy each other’s company, and friendships for life are formed. Most of our students are day students. Boarding, however, has a unique capacity to shape the lives of young people and RGS offers this provision to 70 boys. Full and weekly boarding is on offer and plays a substantial role within the life of the school.

The RGS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, along with their protection and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
