To spark curiosity and build strong foundations for lifelong learning, our Primary School uses a learning framework grounded in the science of how children learn best. Drawing on principles from cognitive science, learning is carefully sequenced to connect prior knowledge with new concepts, ensuring every child experiences success and genuine intellectual growth.
“We believe in igniting curiosity and wonder in our little people and nurturing this through quality learning experiences.”Mrs Kate Harris, Head of Primary
At RGS, we believe that character and scholarship are inseparable. Academic excellence is nurtured alongside values-based social and emotional learning, where respect, care, resilience, courage, responsibility, endeavour, integrity and honour guide our interactions. Through intentional teaching of social-emotional skills students learn to lead with both intellect and kindness.
With a broad range of curriculum and cocurricular offerings, RGS primary students can make the most of our extensive facilities, which include specialty music, art, and cooking rooms, an indoor multi-purpose hall and modern classrooms.
A balance between male and female teachers ensures your child will have high-calibre role models to guide them through this important life phase. Specialist teachers provide in-depth knowledge in subject areas such as art, physical education, cooking, music and Japanese.
RGS Primary provides a structured yet nurturing environment where curiosity is encouraged, working memory is supported through clear and purposeful teaching, and long-term understanding is built through systematic review and practice. This evidence-informed and values-driven approach ensures that every child not only flourishes in the present but is also cognitively and socially prepared for the demands of future learning and life.
