ALUMNI
quote of the month
" Mentally and physically this sport has drained me. But giving up has never been part of my DNA. Two months ago I made a choice and didn’t look back. For moments like this. 4th place at Olympic Trials. I’m back. And not going anywhere.
When you find that true passion and hunger for something, you’re in a special place.
This is the rebirth."
JONATHAN ILORI (HAWKE 2011)

BOOK A TOUR
We have lots of alumni returning to RHS for a tour. If you would like to visit, please do let us know in advance, so we can give you a full tour. If you are passing and just pop in, we will do everything to accommodate you, but the tour might be shorter than if you had contacted us in advance. Please email Katie Gould or telephone 01473 326183 to organise a tour.
ALUMNI NEWS
We'd love to hear from you to celebrate your achievements, successes and good causes you're supporting to include on our Alumni News section and in The Gidge. Please email all articles and accompanying photographs to Lucy Pembroke (lpembroke@royalhospitalschool.org) for consideration.
On Saturday 31 July, hundreds of people including RHS alumni, friends and family came together to honour Tom Miller (Raleigh 2015). Tom was an excellent rugby player, having played for the RHS and Nottingham Trent 1st VI rugby teams. He had recently signed a contract with Nottingham Rugby Club.
