ULTIMATE EDUCATION
A COMMERCIAL SPOTLIGHT
School going from strength to strength
When the Governors, Principal and Leadership team set out to transform the school from a small independent day and boarding school into a large, thriving Free School in 2016, they set out with a passion to develop the whole person in a truly holistic manner. The first Ofsted report confirms their success: ‘personal development and welfare is outstanding’. The Royal School transitioned from a small independent school to become a thriving, energetic and outward-looking school community in a very short space of time. The Royal School is an all through (four to 19) day and state boarding school. The student population increased dramatically, doubling with each year, going from about 400 students in 2014 to over 1,470 students in 2023. A spokesman said: “Could we maintain the unique caring, aspirational and supportive ethos of The Royal when we were more than three times as large? Could we maintain the extended day for pupils, with a large range of extra-curricular activities to help develop self-confident, committed, articulate, employable leaders of the future? “Would a much larger group of pupils and parents buy into what we offer: an all-through, non-selective, non-denominational, four to 19, day and international boarding school? “According to our first Ofsted report… YES!”
