Our Social Impact

The foundations of our sense of social responsibility belong in our 500 year-old history; Thomas Horsley, the original settler of RGS pledged his legacy in 1525 to create the city’s first learning institution.

Half a millennium later the school continues to flourish and this ambition of social impact is front and centre to everything we do. We believe in the infinite potential of our region and are driven to raise the attainment and aspiration of young people from across the North East.

WE BELIEVE in inspiring young people and equipping them to make a positive contribution to society. We promote excellence and are committed to raising aspiration and attainment across the North East. By inspiring and nurturing hearts and minds, we can give those around us the freedom to create and shape their own futures.

WE AIM to reach young people of the north, regardless of background and circumstance: from Carlisle to Stockton-on-Tees, to Berwick-upon-Tweed and back to our heartland in the city of Newcastle.

WE WORK alongside teachers from all institutions interested in curriculum innovation, collegiality and sharing methodologies; and any parent wanting to explore a range of exciting opportunities for their children.

WE COLLABORATE with further and higher education, and businesses wishing to invest in the education and training of young people in this region.

WE GALVANISE 
the RGS community to give back to the North East region, to support this ambition.

WE BELIEVE TOGETHER WE CAN DO MORE
