Our Strategic Direction

RGS NEWCASTLE SHARES OUR STRATEGIC DIRECTION DOCUMENT

The Royal Grammar School Newcastle: Honouring our Past, Shaping the Future

For over 500 years, RGS Newcastle has welcomed young people from all backgrounds, nurturing generations of learners who go on to make their mark on the world. From Vice Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood to Nobel Laureate Sir Gregory Winter, our legacy is one of excellence, opportunity, and impact.

But our story is about more than achievements — it’s about values.

Like fingerprints, our ethos touches everything we do:

A Sense of Belonging – Rooted in our history and place in the city, we are building a future fuelled by ambition and a deep connection to our community.

Love for Learning – We are a vibrant, inclusive environment where curiosity thrives and ideas flourish.

Belief in Each Other – We care deeply, support one another, and act with integrity, within and beyond the school gates.

Ambition to Succeed – We challenge, inspire and empower every individual to explore, dream, and be their truest self.

Today, on 1.5.25 we are proud to share our Strategic Direction — a document that reflects who we are, where we’ve come from, and where we’re headed. It’s a statement of purpose, shaped by conversations across our whole school community, and a call to work together to build a bold and inclusive future for RGS and the wider North East.
