RGS proudly attracts high calibre applicants from across the region for our finite number of school places. From Hartlepool, Carlisle to Berwick (and anywhere in between) successful applicants are talented, socially diverse students, who all thrive in our fast-paced academic setting.

Our Marketing and Admissions cycle is currently supported by a broad range of colleagues working in academic, pastoral and operational roles across the school. Each give invaluable expertise but only dedicate part of their time to the recruitment of students; our only colleague solely dedicated to this function is our Head of Admissions.

Looking ahead to potentially more challenging times for admissions for all independent schools, we are investing in this function with this new role, in order to maintain both the academic calibre and broad social diversity of our School. The postholder will provide a vital leadership role, both co-ordinating all marketing and admissions activities and colleagues involved, and providing new capacity, particularly needed in our admissions marketing.
