Royal University for Women (RUW) is the first private, purpose-built, international university in the Kingdom of Bahrain dedicated solely to educating women. RUW provides a comfortable environment in which to create leaders, develop vibrant personalities, dynamic decision-makers, independent thinkers, and community-conscious individuals. Our main focus is on academic excellence and personal development. RUW's initial degree programs were designed in collaboration with two reputed universities, McGill University in Canada and Middlesex University in the U.K. Since its inception in 2005, RUW has offered undergraduate and postgraduate programs which enable links with business and industry. Simultaneously, it emphasizes a strong foundation of general skills and knowledge through carefully designed curricula which were conceived with a focus on the requirements of the Bahraini Labour market. Today, as at the time of its inception, the University's teaching philosophy continues to be student-centered, innovative, and enterprising. RUW’s purpose-built campus and Residence facilities are dedicated to the education of women. As the first such institution in the Kingdom of Bahrain, RUW is proud of its Vision and ensures that its Mission is practiced in the classroom by its international academic faculty. RUW completed its 10 years of successful ‘journey of excellence and achievements. During this period RUW has gone through several Institutional Quality Reviews, Programs-within-College Reviews, qualifications mapping, and several accreditation processes. In MAY 2015-16, RUW was the first university to take the newly established HEC National Accreditation and went through the rigorous process and worked extremely hard and received excellent feedback. Also, according to the HEC Annual Report 2015- improvement and development, RUW received the grade ‘Good’ in HEC rating, which is the highest possible grade for a private university. All RUW programs that were reviewed by the Quality Assurance Authority have received positive feedback, including the CBFS ‘Confidence’ rating for all three programs for the second time in 2014. This is the highest possible rating that can be achieved in this type of review. Moreover this year CBFS has received validation of NQF mapping of two of its programs. The Bachelor of Law program at RUW has been reviewed by the University of Cambridge. Additionally, in its pursuit of upholding quality and excellence, a feather in the cap was added as RUW became one of the first two universities listed on the National Qualifications Framework. RUW has also received accolades from Edexcel International for the Foundation Programme offered by the College of Art & Design and for the English for Academic Success. In its administrative sector, RUW has achieved and maintained the ISO 9001:2008 Standard for Quality Management Systems since 2013. In addition to this, the University is proud of its students who worked hard and won the competition and medals of their respective colleges, and raised the flag high for RUW. The students performed splendidly in the Bahrain Skills competition, GCC skills completion, and the debate with an international university. To offer our students a rewarding and challenging multi-cultural learning environment that cultivates strong, well-rounded personalities, encourages leadership, and builds character, social consciousness, and community. To realize our commitment to teaching, learning, research, and service through the activities of all members of the University community. The Royal University for Women will become the regional leader in academic excellence for women. Programs and practices that meet international standards will prepare our graduates to become leaders who are engaged members of their society demonstrating initiative and life-long habits of learning and individual development. The RUW graduate will be creative, confident, and forward-thinking. View full university

Central stands at the forefront of training and research in the Dramatic Arts. Graduate employment statistics are amongst the highest in our sector, and our research has recently been assessed as ‘World Leading’ – and is unique in the realm of drama conservatoires. The ratio of undergraduate applications to places is the highest of any UK university. While our actors win many of the most coveted awards worldwide, and frequent accolades in the media, a broad range of industry organizations rank Central as the gold standard in the leadership of technical and design work. So too, Central continues as a pioneering force in the application of drama skills in many social contexts. We hope you will wish to explore the range of courses, both undergraduate and postgraduate, set out on this website. Do visit for an open day, or come to our regular public productions – focused around the historic Embassy Theatre. Our facilities are widely regarded as exemplary with other specialised studios and performance spaces to be added as part of dynamic new development. Elsie Fogerty founded The Central School of Speech Training and Dramatic Art at the Royal Albert Hall in 1906. Fogerty was a specialist in speech training. She also had a firm belief in the social importance of education. In 1937 Fogerty was offered space on the site earmarked for the National Theatre building, with the college alongside the theatre. But that scheme, like many of the National Theatre schemes, fell through. In 1957 the School, at last, moved from the Albert Hall, having acquired the lease of the Embassy Theatre at Swiss Cottage and its associated buildings. The Embassy had a reputation, from the 1930s, for experimental and politically left-wing theatre. By 1957 this reputation had faded. When Central arrived, it was both rescuing an old theatre and weaving it into the fabric of new college buildings. At least that was the plan: inevitably, funds had to be raised. On this occasion, the champion was Sir John Davis. His work in pursuing endowments established the resources to build a new building. This was opened in 1961 by Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, who was then Central’s Patron. By 1961 three distinct departments had been established within Central. The Stage department was running its three-year course for actors, with alumni as distinguished as Lord Olivier and Dame Peggy Ashcroft already a part of its history, and a two-year course for stage managers. The Teacher Training department was preparing students for its Diploma, then a recognized teaching qualification, and for the London University Diploma in Dramatic Art. That qualification was instituted in 1912 precisely due to Fogerty’s campaign for the recognition of drama and drama teaching as subjects worthy of proper academic study. By this time, the college was as famous for its Speech Therapy department for its work in training actors. Building work continued. In June 1972, a new studio was built on the corner of Buckland Crescent and formally opened by the School’s new patron, Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra. Central became grant-aided by the Inner London Education Authority in 1972. In 1989 it was ‘incorporated’ as a higher education college in its own right and funded directly by the government. It had been offering degrees since 1986, first of all, validated by the Council of National Academic Awards. From 1992 its degrees were validated by the Open University. From the early 1990s onwards, extensive building work has taken place: a new workshop facility was opened in 1991. In the summer of 1993, an extension was added to the Embassy Theatre – a studio theatre, design studios, and wardrobe facilities. In 1997 the college completed a five-story block to the east of the campus, providing a new library, a learning resources center and computing facilities, a student standard room, student bar, and staff offices. A refurbished Embassy Theatre was opened in 2002 and followed in 2005 by the West Block, with its several floors of state-of-the-art performance spaces and rehearsal rooms. In 2005 the Privy Council granted the college the power to award its own taught degrees. In the same year, students from the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art transferred to Central, bringing the academy’s 100-year history of significant contributions to stage and screen. In that year, the School was the only specialist theatre institution to win the award of Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching, becoming the Higher Education Funding Council for England’s designated Centre for Excellence in Training for Theatre. Its purpose as a Centre for Excellence is to provide a national resource for vocational performing arts training and learning, a focus for theatre research and scholarship, and national and international collaboration. With effect from September 2005, Central became a College of the University of London and fulfilled Elsie Fogerty’s original ambitions. And then in 2012, came new recognition... Fogerty used to say that while the Principal of the Academy of Dramatic Art had been seeking a royal title for his institution, she had been too busy working with children in the slums to do that sort of thing. But a century later, the achievement of the college she founded properly got its recognition when in November 2012, Her Majesty the Queen conferred Royal Title on Central. View full university

Set in the grounds of Cardiff Castle, bordering one of the largest and most beautiful urban parks in the UK, the College is well known for its distinctly warm and welcoming character. With just over 600 students, there is a real sense of community, and we can offer our students an outstanding level of support. Our ambition is to make an ever more central contribution to Cardiff's cultural life, to Wales, and through our graduates, to the international arts industry. In June 2011, the Royal Welsh College's dream of having its world-class performance and rehearsal spaces became a reality as it opened its doors to new £22.5 million facilities. This year, students will be learning in a performance arts center that will be a hub of cultural life. View full university

The RNCM is a leading international conservatoire located in Manchester's heart, with a reputation for attracting talented students, teachers, conductors, and composers from all over the world. In its fifth decade, the RNCM is relatively young, but its rich history spans back to 1893 when Sir Charles Hallé founded the Royal Manchester College of Music. In 1973, this institution merged with the Northern School of Music, and the RNCM was born. Complementing this role, the RNCM is also a vibrant live music venue that offers unparalleled opportunities for students to regularly perform to public audiences and work alongside professional musicians and visiting artists. Housing four central performance spaces, including a professionally-staffed, fully-equipped Theatre and recently refurbished Concert Hall, the College presents more than 400 concerts each year, ranging from RNCM orchestras ensembles and large-scale opera productions to a host of touring companies and external hires. The 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) rated the RNCM the UK's leading music college for research, and in 2017 the College was ranked Gold in the Higher Education Funding Council for England's first Teaching Excellence Framework. The RNCM has also been awarded two Times Higher Education Awards: Excellence and Innovation in the Arts (2015) and Outstanding International Student Strategy (2016). The RNCM's history dates back to the late 19th century and the establishment of the Royal Manchester College of Music (RMCM). In 1858, Sir Charles Hallé founded the Hallé Orchestra in Manchester, and by the early 1890s, had raised the idea of a music college in the city. Following an appeal for support, a building on Ducie Street was secured, Hallé was appointed Principal, and Queen Victoria conferred the Royal title. The RMCM opened its doors to 80 students in 1893, rising to 117 by the end of the first year. Less than four decades later, in 1920, the Northern School of Music was established (initially as a branch of the Matthay School of Music). For many years the two institutions peacefully coexisted. It was not until 1955 that NSM Principal Hilda Collins, in recognizing the importance of performance in training students, met with RMCM Principal, Frederic Cox, to raise the merging question. Discussions continued until September 1967, when a Joint Committee was formed to combine the two colleges' plans. The RNCM was formed in 1972, moving to its purpose-built home on Oxford Road in 1973, where it continues to deliver world-class musical training. View full university

RCM professors are musicians with worldwide reputations, accustomed to working with each generation's most talented students to unlock their artistic potential. Regular visitors include the likes of Lang Lang, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, and Bernard Haitink. The RCM's many performing groups – including five orchestras, two jazz bands, and the RCM International Opera School – are celebrated for the vitality and excellence of their performances and are regularly invited to perform at notable venues UK and overseas. The RCM's buildings, facilities, and location are the envy of the world. The RCM is situated in South Kensington, the home of science, arts, and inspiration, directly opposite the Royal Albert Hall. Our iconic building, our concert hall, Britten Theatre, studios, library, and RCM Collections all inspire RCM students. The RCM is established under a Royal Charter that dates from 1883. The Charter was revised in 1994 when a Supplemental Charter was granted. The Royal Charter and Statutes were extensively revised by the College most recently in 2009, when Her Majesty The Queen was pleased to allow the amendments at a meeting of the Privy Council held on 9 July 2009. The Council is the governing body of the RCM and is supported in this role by several committees, principal among these being the Finance & General Purposes Committee. A register of Council members' interests is maintained and is available for inspection on request to the Council's Clerk. The senior academic committee of the RCM is the Senate. The Senate's functions are described in the Charter as to "advise the Council on all academic matters affecting the College's educational policy and related matters." In practice, this means that the Senate is responsible for matters of academic policy and regulations, quality assurance and academic standards, curriculum design, and arrangements for assessment and research policy. It has a committee structure to support it in this comprehensive task. View full university

Long before founding the first university drama department in the UK, Fogerty argued that theatre should be studied at university and that theatre training should be awarded degrees. In 1937 Fogerty was offered space on the site earmarked for the National Theatre building, with the college alongside the theatre.

The RAU has achieved IS014001 - the international standard for environmental management - a regularly audited structured system to protect the environment. As part of this, we have created an Environmental Action Plan outlining ambitious targets and a program for achieving these. We also have an Environmental & Sustainability Policy, which is signed off by the Vice-Chancellor. The Sustainability team are provided with resources and a stable budget to undertake this work. The Royal Agricultural College (RAC), now the Royal Agricultural University (RAU), is the oldest agricultural college in the English-speaking world and has been at the forefront of agricultural education since 1845. "To be a center of excellence for developing the leaders of tomorrow in sustainable development relating to the rural economy, built environment and food chain, and to provide leadership regionally, nationally and internationally through its education, research, and knowledge exchange activities." The Royal Agricultural University is a limited company and a registered charity. The directors and trustees are all non-executive. There are between 12 and 18 independent governors appointed to serve for up to three terms of three years on the Governing Council. The Governing Council can also appoint up to five co-opted governors who provide unique skills to the Council or work on particular projects. Three elected staff representatives and two Student Union Officers also sit on Governing Council but are not directors or trustees. Beneath the Governing Council are a range of sub-committees that either report to it directly or through the Senior Management Group. Governors chair these sub-committees. Enterprise With a strong entrepreneurial focus, we are committed to enhancing our students' real-life business experiences. From student societies to organized workshops and awards, the RAU provides students with the opportunity to develop their business ideas and receive tailored support. Budding entrepreneurs can benefit from their lecturers' bountiful knowledge and experience, and the robust industry links the University has carefully cultivated over the years. Your Carbon Management Plan commits the RAU to a 34% decrease in CO2 by 2020, signed off by the Governing Council. To achieve this, we have invested in a range of renewables on campus, including a 500kW biomass boiler powering all lecture blocks and our new accommodation blocks. This is fuelled by locally sourced woodchips and has reduced the University's carbon footprint by over 100t/CO2 per year. We were fortunate to benefit from a grant to support this from the South West Regional Development Agency, delivered by Regen SW. We also have several solar photovoltaic arrays, rainwater harvesting systems, and air source heat pumps. Our building developments incorporate energy efficiency measures, such as LED lighting and natural ventilation. Residential carbon emissions made up 26% of our total emissions in 2015/16. Sustainability and environmental matters are a core element of our teaching, research, and consultancy activities. Much of our expertise and teaching relates to the management of natural resources and property, and, as such, sustainability underpins much of what we do. You will learn about different principles of sustainability relevant to your course and develop holistic skills such as long-term planning, critical reflection, and lateral thinking. Please take a look at our Student Sustainability Opportunities page for more information. RAU sustainability is incorporated throughout the University community, including sustainability inductions for new staff, engagement with trade union representatives, and staff and student champion schemes. If you want to find out more about this, look at our Student Sustainability Opportunities page or contact the sustainability team. The Royal Agricultural University is situated on the outskirts of the market town of Cirencester. During the summer months, accommodation is available on a bed and breakfast or dinner, bed, and breakfast.

The Royal Agricultural College (RAC), now the Royal Agricultural University (RAU), is the oldest agricultural college in the English-speaking world and has been at the forefront of agricultural education since 1845. "To be a center of excellence for developing the leaders of tomorrow in sustainable development relating to the rural economy, built environment and food chain, and to provide leadership regionally, nationally and internationally through its education, research, and knowledge exchange activities." The Royal Agricultural College (RAC), now the Royal Agricultural University (RAU), was the first agricultural college in the English-speaking world. In 1842, the seeds were sown at a meeting of the Fairford and Cirencester Farmers Club. Concerned by the lack of government support for education, Robert Jeffreys-Brown addressed the meeting on the 'Advantages of a Specific Education for Agricultural Pursuits.' A prospectus was circulated, a general committee was appointed, and Earl Bathurst was elected President. Funds were raised by public subscription, with much of the support coming from the day's wealthy landowners and farmers. There was no Government support. Earl Bathurst leased a site to build the College, and construction in the Victorian Gothic style began in April 1845. Queen Victoria granted the Royal Charter to the College in the same year, and Sovereigns have been Patrons ever since, visiting in every reign. His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, became President in 1982. The first 25 students were admitted in September 1845, and the following year student numbers increased to 108. Many early students went on to careers in Colonial Agricultural Administrations and the Diplomatic and Foreign Service. From its early days, the College was staffed with innovators and pioneers and impacted farming practice and agricultural science. In 1931, Professor R ("Bobby") Boutflour, CBE, became Principal. Professor Boutflour was mostly responsible for raising the prestige of the College to its current high standards. It was said of Boutflour, on his death in 1961, that he was "... the most capable, colorful and forceful character that ever adorned the fields of agriculture". Frank Garner, the next Principal, enhanced the educational standards, and Sir Emrys Jones, his successor, was responsible for the Hosier Library and the Frank Parkinson Lecture Theatre. Vic Hughes, whose service to the College is one of the longest recorded, uplifted the teaching standards by establishing the many degree programs that the University can now offer. The first modern degree program, started in 1984, was in co-operation with Reading University - a BSc (Hons) degree in Rural Land Management. Subsequently, as the RAC, the University reclaimed its right to award degrees from the Privy Council. The RAC had been independent of government control since its foundation until 2001 when it first received funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), allowing it to widen access to its courses to students of all backgrounds. In 2013, the Privy Council awarded the College full University Status in recognition of its provision as a higher education institution. The Royal Agricultural University will continue to develop teaching and research in agriculture, agri-business, equine, food, and land & property management. The University motto is 'Arvorum Cultus Pecorumque,' a quote from Virgil's Georgics, it means 'Caring for the Fields and the Beasts'. What more appropriate maxim could there be for a University which, in every facet of its teachings, now incorporates a broader understanding of our countryside? Founded in 1845, the RAU has a long-standing reputation in learning, research, and consultancy. Undergraduate and postgraduate study is managed and taught by experienced staff and specialist consultants in an exciting learning environment in which our students play a pivotal role. Our unique portfolio includes disciplines as varied as Rural Land Management, Real Estate, Business, Agriculture, Food, Environment, and Equine matched by an extensive choice of research areas at the Masters and Doctoral level. The University maintains solid links with its industry partners. Our courses are designed and updated to meet the market demands, both in the UK and worldwide, and employment rates for RAU graduates are amongst the highest in the country. Leadership and enterprise have always featured strongly at the RAU, and our former students have gone on to perform at the highest levels across a broad range of careers both in the UK and overseas. There has rarely been a more critical time for agriculture, food, and land management – and the opportunities that flow from our courses are numerous and stimulating. Our student community is enriched by its diversity, with students from around the globe. We encourage applicants from urban as well as rural backgrounds and all cultures and faiths.

The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland was granted a Charter on 11th February 1784. This Charter gave the College the power to control surgery and make provision for surgical education. Before that time, the surgeons were grouped with the barbers and the Barbers Surgeons Guild. The founders had no premises, so the earliest meeting was held in Dublin's boardroom of the Rotunda Hospital. Subsequently, a disused hall in Mercer Street beside Mercer's Hospital was acquired. The RCSI was established over 220 years ago and had a worldwide reputation for delivering excellent undergraduate and postgraduate education in the healthcare professions. Our programs are accredited by the National University of Ireland and by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) on behalf of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in the UAE. Our mission is to develop your leadership and management capability, as well as that of your organization.

The Royal School is wholly committed to whole-person education. Pupils acquire confidence by being encouraged into new experiences outside their comfort zone. Increased self-esteem accrues from successful participation in such activities. In light of this, as many extra-curricular activities as possible are offered by the staff at the school. The Royal School Armagh aims to provide its pupils with an education which in its wholeness will enable them to achieve their full potential in academic, social, moral, and spiritual terms. The values of the School, both implicitly and explicitly, reflect and are informed by the reformed tradition of the Christian faith. The School warmly welcomes the presence of pupils and staff of other Christian traditions, other world faiths, and those with no religious convictions. The Royal School, Armagh was founded in 1608 by James I. It has been regarded since then as one of the leading schools in Ireland and a school which achieves considerable academic success. The school is co-educational with modern facilities. The school welcomes children of all faiths and offers an excellent caring and learning environment of over 700 pupils from the ages of 5 to 18 with accommodation for 90 boarders including a new dedicated sixth form boarding facility which provides an effective transitional step between school and university. All pupils study for GCSE examinations and the vast majority continue to study for A-Levels and then progress to universities and colleges throughout the United Kingdom. Situated on 27 acres of grounds, it is close to the center of Armagh – an ancient city that is widely renowned for its cultural, sporting, and educational activities. Features of the city include two Cathedrals, a Planetarium, an Astropark, attractive open spaces, excellent leisure facilities, and fine Georgian buildings. Armagh is about 45 minutes from the Belfast airports and 1 hour and 20 minutes from Dublin Airport. Courses are offered in 24 GCSE subjects and 25 A-Level subjects. Facilities include science and technology laboratories/workshops, six computer suites, a lecture theatre, a study hall, a sixth form center, and a library. Every classroom has several networked PCs and most rooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards. School teams regularly participate in inter-school competitions and to a high level. Welcome to the Royal School, Armagh. The school’s original foundation in 1608 was “For the increase of learning and good manners”. This twin objective of promoting knowledge and building sound character remains today. Whilst each year our pupils achieve the highest levels of academic success in public examinations, we believe that a good education is about more than just gaining qualifications. A good education is about one’s character and the endeavor to be a positive influence on others. The willingness and ability to learn, to lead, to serve, and to build strong relationships are what enable a life to be well-lived. We believe that by developing a strong work ethic and holding a growth mindset our pupils will go on to flourish academically, morally, and socially. The school’s ethos is its characteristic spirit or culture and it is based upon Christian values, promoting and maintaining high standards of personal conduct, striving for the best possible individual achievement, caring for each other, and getting involved in school life. This is a school where tradition and progress go hand in hand, traditional values of hard work, good manners, and respect for self and others combine with forward-thinking learning and teaching practices to ensure our young people are equipped to succeed in the modern world. Pupils joining the school encounter consistent rules, role models, and traditions that help them quickly feel part of the Royal School community, take responsibility for themselves and each other, and make a positive contribution to school life. We work hard to ensure an effective pastoral system operates which, at its core, values each pupil for their uniqueness. We are influenced by the work of the German educationalist Kurt Han whose philosophy is centered on the conviction that schools should be infused with the ideals of: Democracy Service Environmentalism Leadership Adventure Internationalism Throughout this website and by following the school’s activities on Facebook or Twitter, we believe you will see these ideas in practice. For over four centuries the Royal School, Armagh has served as one of Ireland’s premier schools. Today it flourishes as a vibrant school community for pupils aged from 3 to 19. Pupils are drawn from in and around County Armagh and also much further afield through our large international boarding department which is a valued and integral part of the school. The Royal School has a membership of the prestigious Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference (HMC). This is an association that represents the Heads of the top 250 schools in the UK. Membership is accepted as a mark of excellence in education and is an indication of the high academic standards and commitment to whole-person education in the school. Having visited the website, you are welcome to visit the school please feel at liberty to make an appointment to see our facilities for yourself. View full school

As soon as visitors come to The Royal, they are struck by the warmth and family feel of the place where pupils are happy and successful. Academic excellence and a belief that outstanding pastoral care must underpin everything we do is a powerful combination in enabling that happiness and success. Innovation is at the core of The Royal’s history. It was one of the first schools opened to allow girls education and this sense of forward-thinking defines our co-educational school now. As an organization that purports modern ideas but is steeped in tradition and history, we are proud of our royal patronage and privileged to have Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as our Patron. We believe in the best in everyone and are dedicated to developing character in our young people. Our commitment is to ensure they are future-ready to thrive in this rapidly changing world. As a new member of United Learning, the school is embarking on some exciting developments with an ambitious building project that will see both Senior and Junior Schools united at the Hindhead site in the academic year. The accessible location, investment in state-of-the-art buildings, and sense of green, open space will make for an attractive and inspiring learning environment. Excellence is not only measured by strong A-Level grades and a prestigious university course but by the personal qualities that complement academic success. Worthwhile learning is often hard. Inspiring teaching is what gives access to difficult concepts and the thrill of intellectual discovery. We nurture and challenge each pupil to be the very best they can be. We focus on the individual, seeking to develop their talents and sparking their intellectual curiosity. We believe in a balanced approach to learning that combines academic excellence with the broader skills of resilience, caring, ambition and fun. We deliver education with character and our pupils graduate from The Royal School with the qualifications and experience they need to take up places at the highest-performing universities and enter careers that best suit their talents and interests. Each year, parents choose The Royal School for their children because we prepare young people to make a success of their lives: subject-based learning the development of talents and understanding of work and society and instilling in them a lifelong set of core values: Curiosity Courage Commitment Creativity Co-operation Compassion Confidence Our exceptional pastoral support and nurturing environment give our pupils the confidence to thrive in our changing world. Our Christian ethos encourages integrity, tolerance, and a sense of social responsibility in all. In becoming part of United Learning, we are joining a group that appreciates and promotes ‘education with the character’ this combination of academic success and the development of wider skills is something in which we believe strongly and which our excellent results demonstrate in full. The original Royal Naval School was founded as one of the earliest academic girls’ schools in England in 1840. The co-ancestor of The Royal School, The Grove School, was founded in the 1850s and was, equally, a pioneer in girls’ education. From the outset, the founders’ ambition was for the girls to become independent. There are specific reasons for this. In 1815 The Battle of Waterloo finally put an end to the Napoleonic Wars. In the following piece, the Navy was put on half or even quarter pay. Peace also brought an end to the long-established tradition of sharing the prize money of any captured ships. As the Navy had been at war pretty well non-stop since the 1770s, the potential for Senior Officers to become wealthy and to set themselves up as country gentlemen had become established. The peace brought significant change in their way of life. After Waterloo, many Naval Officers found themselves in financial difficulty. They were able to send their young sons from age 9 upwards to sea as mid-shipmen where they would gain an education and valuable experience. Their daughters, however, were in a more difficult position. They were too high up the social scale to engage in any menial work to earn their living but too poor to attract the attention of eligible husbands. Admiral Jahleel Brenton, Admiral Sir Thomas Williams, and Captain Hon. Francis Maude established The Royal Naval Female School as it was then known, specifically to provide a sound education that would enable the girls to go out into employment almost certainly as teachers and governesses. The school was founded for the daughters and sisters of Naval and Marine Officers. Queen Victoria and the Queen Dowager were among the first subscribers and from the outset the School has enjoyed the great privilege of the patronage of The Queen. Our Patron, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, opened the QEII Sixth Form building in 1989 and our Royal Presidents in recent years have been loyal supporters. In 1975 Princess Anne inherited the Presidency from her uncle, Lord Mountbatten of Burma, after whom one of our teaching buildings is now named. Princess Anne has visited the School regularly, with her most recent visit for Prize Day in 2017. The Princess Anne Sports Hall was opened by her in 1986. The Royal School’s motto Per Aspera Ad Astra – Through Challenge to the Stars – is another legacy from the Royal Naval School. Our inheritance from The Grove School is interesting in terms of its intellectual adventurousness right from the start a thorough education was offered. Certainly, the founder Mrs. Lacey was devoted to the cause of women’s education at a time when it was generally considered of minor importance. The Laceys were, indeed, deeply committed both to education and the Christian faith the name frequently appears through succeeding generations within The Grove records and beyond, in educational and missionary service abroad. Apart from lessons in their establishment, extension classes at the University College of Nottingham - opened in 1881 – were well attended by both teachers and pupils. From the outset, the school combined a significant commitment to charity work among disadvantaged girls in London with academic ambition. A number of its pupils were amongst the earliest female students at Oxford and Cambridge. The second Headmistress, Miss Lacey, who took over from her mother, Mrs. Lacey, achieved a first-class degree in Modern History in the 1890s. It was not until the 1920s when Oxford formally decided to confer degrees on female pupils, that Miss Lacey was among the number of middle-aged people whose academic achievements were finally recognized. The Royal Naval School and The Grove School joined together in 1995 to create an exceptional school in this area. The school joined United Learning in November 2019 and we are delighted to be moving forward within the United Learning group. We believe that the principles of our founders, intellectual vigor, care for others, and independence remain the core values of The Royal School. Our founder schools were among the very first to take the education of girls seriously. We are grateful for their courage, ambition, and prescience. They give strength to our present and inspiration to our innovations, which will take us confidently into the future. View full school

We belong to our school and we are very proud of our tradition and heritage. Our overall aim at The Royal High School is to provide each pupil the opportunity to develop his or her talents and abilities. As parents, you will naturally wish for the best for your child. We, too, share that wish for personal achievement and our efforts are directed towards your child’s education in the widest sense. We want to provide the best possible academic education, but we are also concerned with developing a wide range of personal qualities and skills. Above all, we seek to encourage and support your child’s development into a socially responsible and independent young person. The school will play a major part in achieving these aims, but effective education depends on a partnership between home and school. To realize this partnership, we actively encourage you as parents to take a full and positive interest in your child’s education and to pursue this interest through events such as Parents' Meetings or direct personal contact. An important theme of the school is participation. We encourage our pupils to identify with the school, to be proud of its reputation, and to be involved in the life of the school. We hope that you as a parent will also take an active interest in the life and affairs of the school. The Royal High School is one of the oldest schools in Scotland. It has a unique, long-established history with a record of success and excellence. However, the reputation of the school does not just depend upon its history. The Royal High School of today enjoys an excellent reputation because of its current record of success and achievement in many areas. You will naturally have a range of questions and anxieties concerning your child’s transfer from primary to High School and we hope that this handbook will help to address some of these questions. In line with other Edinburgh schools, our handbook has information about an educational provision in Scotland and Edinburgh generally, as well as in The Royal High School, although we have tried to provide as much practical information about the school as possible. We hope that you find it useful, but if you have any questions, or would like any further information on any aspect of the school or the education of your child, please do not hesitate to contact me.

We aim to provide academic excellence by implementing a challenging, broad, balanced, and differentiated curriculum. We encourage pupils to enjoy the adventure of learning and provide them with opportunities to develop a range of skills and knowledge. These will help them to achieve their maximum potential and prepare them academically and socially for the next stage of their education. We seek to establish positive attitudes, self-confidence, good behavior, and personal integrity. Our curriculum is perfectly attuned to the needs of children in Primary School (3 to 11 years of age), based on the English National Curriculum. The Class Teacher is responsible for English, Mathematics, Science, Design Technology, History, and Geography. Art and Design, Computing, Drama, Music, Physical Education, French, Arabic, and Learning Support are taught by specialist staff. We have a purpose-built school with spacious, beautifully landscaped grassed areas. Within the main school building, there are large, well-equipped classrooms and specialist teaching rooms for Art, Music, Drama, Home Economics, French, Arabic, and a modern computer suite where all children receive tuition. The Pre-school and Reception classes are in their block with indoor and outdoor play areas. The classrooms are very spacious and bright with lots of room for formal and informal learning. There is an Infants Library on the ground floor and a Juniors Library on the first floor. The libraries have a wide variety of books, with both fiction and non-fiction titles, and are under the supervision of a qualified Librarian. The Juniors Library also has computers for class research work. We have a large Multi-Purpose Hall which is used for PE lessons, indoor games, and after-school activities. Outside the children enjoy swimming lessons in the 6-lane, temperature-controlled, 25m covered competition pool or the smaller training pool. During break times the children can stay under the shaded play area or use the adventure playground, basketball courts, or the large Astro-turf pitch which is also used for athletics, football, and PE lessons in the cooler months.

The Royal School is wholly committed to whole person education. Pupils acquire confidence by being encouraged into new experiences outside their comfort zone. Increased self-esteem accrues from successful participation in such activities. In light of this, as many extra-curricular activities as possible are offered by the staff at the school.

Pupils acquire confidence by being encouraged into new experiences outside their comfort zone. Increased self-esteem accrues from successful participation in such activities. In light of this, as many extra-curricular activities as possible are offered by the staff at the school. The Royal School Armagh aims to provide its pupils with an education which in its wholeness will enable them to achieve their full potential in academic, social, moral, and spiritual terms. The values of the School, both implicitly and explicitly, reflect and are informed by the reformed tradition of the Christian faith. The School warmly welcomes the presence of pupils and staff of other Christian traditions, other world faiths, and those with no religious convictions. The Royal School, Armagh was founded in 1608 by James I. It has been regarded since then as one of the leading schools in Ireland and a school which achieves considerable academic success. The school is co-educational with modern facilities. The school welcomes children of all faiths and offers an excellent caring and learning environment of over 700 pupils from the ages of 5 to 18 with accommodation for 90 boarders including a new dedicated sixth form boarding facility which provides an effective transitional step between school and university. All pupils study for GCSE examinations and the vast majority continue to study for A-Levels and then progress to universities and colleges throughout the United Kingdom. Situated on 27 acres of grounds, it is close to the center of Armagh – an ancient city that is widely renowned for its cultural, sporting, and educational activities. Features of the city include two Cathedrals, a Planetarium, an Astropark, attractive open spaces, excellent leisure facilities, and fine Georgian buildings. Armagh is about 45 minutes from the Belfast airports and 1 hour and 20 minutes from Dublin Airport. Courses are offered in 24 GCSE subjects and 25 A-Level subjects. Facilities include science and technology laboratories/workshops, six computer suites, a lecture theatre, a study hall, a sixth form center, and a library. Every classroom has several networked PCs and most rooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards. School teams regularly participate in inter-school competitions and to a high level. Sports facilities include playing fields for hockey, rugby, and cricket, tennis courts, a running track, a squash court, a fitness room, and a sports hall. There is a very wide range of non-sporting, extra-curricular facilities, and school tours are regularly organized for visits throughout Europe. Music is a particular strength of the School. Welcome to the Royal School, Armagh. The school’s original foundation in 1608 was “For the increase of learning and good manners”. This twin objective of promoting knowledge and building sound character remains today. Whilst each year our pupils achieve the highest levels of academic success in public examinations, we believe that a good education is about more than just gaining qualifications. A good education is about one’s character and the endeavor to be a positive influence on others. The willingness and ability to learn, to lead, to serve, and to build strong relationships are what enable a life to be well-lived. We believe that by developing a strong work ethic and holding a growth mindset our pupils will go on to flourish academically, morally, and socially. The school’s ethos is its characteristic spirit or culture and it is based upon Christian values, promoting and maintaining high standards of personal conduct, striving for the best possible individual achievement, caring for each other, and getting involved in school life. This is a school where tradition and progress go hand in hand, traditional values of hard work, good manners, and respect for self and others combine with forward-thinking learning and teaching practices to ensure our young people are equipped to succeed in the modern world. Pupils joining the school encounter consistent rules, role models, and traditions which help them quickly feel part of the Royal School community, take responsibility for themselves and each other, and make a positive contribution to school life. We work hard to ensure an effective pastoral system operates which, at its core, values each pupil for their uniqueness. We are influenced by the work of the German educationalist Kurt Han whose philosophy is centered on the conviction that schools should be infused with the ideals of: Democracy Service Environmentalism Leadership Adventure Internationalism Throughout this website and by following the school’s activities on Facebook or Twitter, we believe you will see these ideas in practice. For over four centuries the Royal School, Armagh has served as one of Ireland’s premier schools. Today it flourishes as a vibrant school community for pupils aged from 3 to 19. Pupils are drawn from in and around County Armagh and also much further afield through our large international boarding department which is a valued and integral part of the school. The Royal School has a membership of the prestigious Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference (HMC). This is an association that represents the Heads of the top 250 schools in the UK. Membership is accepted as a mark of excellence in education and is an indication of the high academic standards and commitment to whole-person education in the school.
