record of academic excellence, outstanding educational environment, and the full support and endorsement of our Patron, the Earl of Wessex.
From this, the Governors and leadership team are committed to supporting wider access for pupils, of all abilities and backgrounds, to add to The Royal’s rich and diverse educational offer.
