Academic Matters
The academic curriculum at the Royal Grammar School has the following aims:
- To develop a questioning, energetic, imaginative, logical and informed mind.
- To help boys use language effectively and creatively.
- To provide the mathematical, scientific and technical knowledge and skills which are considered necessary in a fast-changing world.
- To foster an appreciation of human aspirations and achievements.
- To promote an informed awareness, both of moral values and of the spiritual di mension of life.
- To encourage self-expression and to provide opportunities for active responses to aesthetic experience.
- To enable boys to play a full part in the community through the acquisition of a range of social skills.
- To develop a good level of physical and manipulative competence linked with a healthy understanding of the human body.
The school’s independence enables us to offer the National Curriculum, while at the same time offering subjects outside the National Curriculum which we regard as valuable. Our overriding aim is to maintain a high standard of teaching and learning for all boys at the RGS.
