The 2026 athletics season has been one of the most successful in recent RHS history, with athletes excelling at local, county, regional and national level. From pupils competing in athletics for the very first time to national champions and county representatives, the season has been defined by commitment, resilience and a determination to be the very best version of themselves. 

This year has been an exceptional one for STEM at the Royal Hospital School, with the TeenTech Awards programme playing a central role in a wider initiative to promote creativity, innovation and real-world problem-solving across the curriculum. 

Throughout June our Year 12 pupils have been immersed in an exciting programme of careers education, designed to prepare them for life beyond school. From meeting industry experts and building professional networks to experiencing virtual work in space and tackling recruitment challenges, pupils have developed the skills, confidence and knowledge needed to take their next steps. 

George Franks (Cornwallis, 1981) a professional photographer, returned to RHS for the second year to lead a hands-on sports photography masterclass during Sports Day. 

Our Year 12 Geography pupils recently took their learning beyond the classroom with a fieldwork trip to Somerset. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to explore a range of geographical environments and investigate key themes studied as part of their course.  

On Saturday, 24 sailors travelled to Sevenoaks in Kent to compete in the Hoad Shield. 

We’re delighted to share our new school video!

Our Gold Expedition pupils were immediately put to the test as they set off for their four-day, three-night expedition at the start of the Easter holidays. On the first day, they were met with challenging conditions, including winds of up to 40mph, along with rain, snow and hail. 

A brilliant day for our CCF pupils aboard HMS Trumpeter!
