Located in the centre of the historic town of Guildford we successfully combine tradition with an open minded, forward-thinking approach to education suitable for the twenty-first century.  We provide an education from 3 years old through to 18. We foster an academic boldness that is essential to encouraging curiosity and creativity – an insistence on how to think, not what to think. This is at the very heart of the RGS ethos.
