Global Awareness

Instilling the importance of a global outlook and recognising our place within the world has long been a key component of an RHS education, but given the growing importance globally of climate change, sustainability, geopolitics and cultural cooperation, we have renewed our focus and embedded key components across our curriculum.
 
Our whole school community is focused on developing as global citizens, whether from the perspective of environmentalism and sustainability, the recognition of contemporary issues, or understanding our cultural similarities and differences.

Listen to our Podcasts

Launched in 2021, our podcast series pulls back the curtain and sits down with a range of alumni, parents, pupils and staff to give our listeners a deeper understanding of how the school sets pupils up for success and how we give them the skills, confidence and resilience to thrive and follow their ambitions. Tune in via Apple or Spotify to gain a real insight into members of our RHS community.

Launching 100 lives

The Royal Hospital School is committed to providing life-changing opportunities through bursaries.  2022 saw the launch of our Centennial Bursary Campaign, where, with your support, we will transform the lives of 100 children by 2033, the centenary of the Royal Hospital School’s move to Holbrook.

RHS Living

We inspire our pupils to have the courage to be ambitious for their futures and the commitment to pursue whichever path they choose.
 
We offer a flexible range of day and boarding options to suit modern family life, from full and weekly boarding through to ad-hoc boarding bundles. Our boarding and day houses provide the heart to our pastoral care, led by a house parent and a fully staffed team to support pupils throughout the day and night.

“RHS is an exceptional school, and has been absolutely the right place for our son. The site, the quality of teaching, the ethos and the opportunities offered combine to make up a unique experience which is hard to beat.”- Day Parent

"Boarding has allowed me to foster new friendships, to learn to do things for myself and become a more independent person." - Boarding Pupil

Part of a Community you will never forget

Our Houses are the heart of school life and great emphasis is placed on a close partnership between pupil, school and parents.

Being part of this school community has allowed me to reach for the sky, find myself as a person, chase opportunities and in some cases allow opportunities to find me. My motivation to achieve my dreams will continue long after RHS.

We chose RHS for a combination of reasons, but particularly for the outstanding music provision. We also liked the ethos and atmosphere, and chose RHS over a similar school because of the values, the feel of the school, and the attitude of the headmaster and other key staff.
