Every year we host our Founder's service at Newcastle Cathedral where all of Y7 are invited to connect with the history of the RGS.
RGS is Newcastle's oldest institution of learning. Founded during Henry VIII's reign at the site where the Newcastle Cathedral now sits, Queen Elizabeth I later granted the burgesses of the City of Newcastle The Great Charter on 22nd March 1600. Within the Charter was the direction to incorporate a grammar school in the city, entitled to hold land.
