With its origin in the 13th Century, the Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe was granted a Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth I in 1562. Much has changed in these 453 years but RGS continues to enjoy a reputation as one of the leading state selective schools in the country. It offers an outstanding all-round education to boys aged 11-18 years.
The group took a quick tour of the campus and then interacted with the children in the classes. They wrote in the visitor’s book. Deepalaya newsletter and the sponsorship program were explained to them. No donation however was made to Deepalaya by the school. Earthen experience handed over a cheque of Rs. 2500/-
These are a few excerpts written in the visitor’s book.
