Any thoughts on RGS

RGS has very good reputation too. Had friends that went there and all did very well. I have colleagues with children there who are happy with it. It's also on metro line so easy access if kids making their own way there.

Friend worked at RGS and absolutely loved it. He rates it as one of the best schools in the UK. He also speaks warmly of Dame Allans, and the pupils and staff he met from there on fixtures etc., so maybe see how the entrance exams and gut instinct both go. Newcastle is a great city and it’s easy to become an adopted Geordie. Definitely agree with the transport point as RGS is much more central than Dame Allan’s.
