All staff and students have thrown themselves into each event, demonstrating a strong sense of house pride and community. These traits make RGS such an outstanding school with every student working collaboratively with their peers and teachers to secure last minute points for their Houses. I am extremely proud of everything our students and staff have achieved this year. The IB cohort received much press attention after securing results that retained RGS’ position as top IB state school in the country. Students achieved an impressive average point score of 37.6 – an incredible seven points above the world average and equivalent to 3A*s and 1 A at A level. Over a quarter of students achieved 40 points out of a maximum of 45, placing them within the top 7% of IB students across the globe. Katherine Knight scored the maximum of 45 points, joining 0.3% of the world’s IB students – an achievement that will take her to Oxford University to read Classics. The students’ outstanding results mean that many will now go on to study at top universities, including Cambridge, Durham and University College London. One of our students is even heading to the continent to study at the University of Amsterdam! This summer, our site improvements will be completed. We are all very excited about the brand new double glazed windows that will totally transform and modernise the A block. The Science laboratory renovations have also commenced and we look forward to seeing our state of the art facilities when we return in September. The labs have been professionally designed in a conference style to replicate the high quality labs that students will have the opportunity of accessing at university. I am delighted to announce that we are fully staffed for September with a truly outstanding team; you can ‘meet’ the new Curriculum leaders within this newsletter. Unlike other schools across the country, RGS has been in the fortunate position of having a strong pool of candidates for every post. Our interview process is exceptionally rigorous as we rightly want the very best teachers for our aspirational students. Particular thanks must go to the inspirational Director of Music, Mr Millest, for his 27 years of service and to Mr Guthrie for his outstanding leadership of Religious Studies since 1999. I am looking forward to my new role of Executive Principal of RGS, The Victory Academy and Portsmouth Academy for Girls, and I will remain in close contact with RGS where I will be based twice a week. Mr Macaulay has been an outstanding Vice Principal and he will do a fantastic job as Head of School. I wish you all a safe and relaxing summer holiday with your friends and loved ones. Yours sincerely Mr Bassan Principal Page 2 RGS Newsletter R GS CULTURAL FASHION SHOW On Thursday 23rd June, Rochester’s first this evening of art with outstanding Cultural Fashion Show took place at the catwalks, boosting confidence and passion.

She is now eligible to apply for an undergraduate scholarship and other opportunities offered by the Alumni Association in the trust. Hannah and her family attended the awards ceremony where she was able to tour the laboratories at the University of Kent and watched an inspirational lecture on current research into impact craters. A fantastic, informative evening! Throughout the year, Hannah has demonstrated a real passion for Astronomy, often presenting photographs which she has taken using her telescope, to her class. She works hard as the Physics Academic Officer, giving support to GCSE students during revision sessions and preparing beautiful displays to enhance learning in our Physics classrooms.

Mrs Vyse Curriculum Leader Physics Issue 3 2016 Page 3 O N TOP OF THE WORLD R GS STUDENTS ACHIEVE RECORD RESULTS Students and staff at Rochester Grammar School (RGS) are celebrating after achieving world-class, record-breaking results in the International Baccalaureate (IB) qualification this year, after results were released on Wednesday. The students’ outstanding results mean that many will now go on to study at top universities, including Oxford, Durham, and University College London. Students at RGS achieved an average point score of 37.6 – an incredible seven points above the world average for the IB, and equivalent to gaining 3 A*s and 1 A at A level. Over a quarter of students achieved over 40 points of a maximum of 45, placing them within the top 7% of IB students across the globe. The IB, studied in the Sixth Form as an alternative to A levels, has been offered at Rochester Grammar School for nine years. 35 students successfully completed the programme and achieved their diploma this year, and staff expressed their delight and congratulations to all 2016 IB students, wishing them every success for the future. Ms Hemming, Head of the International Baccalaureate at Rochester Grammar School, said: “I am immensely proud of our IB students. The IB can be a challenging programme, but it has allowed our students to flourish, grow in skills and confidence, and receive the recognition they deserve from top universities. It is wonderful to see the hard work of both students and staff rewarded.” Mr Bassan, Principal at Rochester Grammar School, added: “I am delighted and extremely proud of our IB students for their outstanding achievement in this world-class qualification. To excel in this manner across six subjects (including Maths, Science and a language) shows the calibre and commitment of our students – and the hard work and dedication of our wonderful staff. These results also show that all students should give the IB serious consideration, whatever their academic background. Viewed as a gold standard qualification in the UK and across the world, it is tried and tested, and takes our students to some incredible destinations for university. It truly transforms students’ life chances.” RGS student Katherine Knight scored the maximum of 45 points, joining just 0.3% of the world’s IB students – an achievement which will take her to Oxford University to read Classics. Katherine is the third student at the school to achieve this exceptional score since RGS first began offering the IB programme. Katherine said: “Taking the IB has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and it’s brilliant to know that all the work has paid off. Our IB group has grown together as a real community, and I wish everyone the very best for the future and can’t wait to see where we all go from here.” Lois Franklin, who joined RGS at the start of Year 12 from a local high school, went on to achieve an outstanding 40 points – passing her entry requirements to study Pharmacy at the University of Brighton with flying colours.

  • 2019 Transfer to Secondary School School Admission Appeals
    Please return your appeal form by 29 March 2019 2019 Transfer to Secondary School School Admission Appeals A Guide for Parents This guide is to help families who have not got a place at the secondary school they wanted. If you are disappointed and worried about where your child will go to school in September, this guide will answer some of your questions and explain what you can do next. In the first instance you should visit the school you have been offered to get a feel for it and meet with the headteacher. Once you have done this, if you are still not satisfied you may want to consider lodging an appeal for your preferred school(s). www.kent.gov.uk/schooladmissions Why didn’t my child get a place at the school I wanted? The County Council will have tried to offer a place at the school you wanted. If that hasn’t happened it’s probably because the school had more applications than places available and other children had a higher priority for the place than your child. It may also be because your child did not meet the entry requirements for the school and so could not be offered a place. What does this mean? When a school doesn’t have enough places for everyone who wants to go there, it has to have a way of deciding which children should get in. Often a school takes the children who live closest first, so if you live further away, it may have filled all its places with children who live nearer.
