We are delighted to welcome you to our website. We hope that you will enjoy finding out more about this unique and highly successful school with a proud history and an exciting future. The School continues to move forward at every level; our Pre-School, Ruspini House, for boys and girls aged 2-4, goes from strength to strength; Cadogan House, our Preparatory Department, thrives in the stunning new accommodation that is now one year old. Numbers in the Sixth Form are at an all-time high and we eagerly await the opening of the new Sixth Form Centre ready for the next academic year.

In 2011 RMS was inspected twice, once by OFSTED in relation to boarding and once by the Independent Schools Inspectorate who spent a week examining every aspect of school life. We were thrilled that the School was rated outstanding in both reports which also covered the Early Years Foundation Stage. We are particularly proud of the fact that inspectors recognised that standards of teaching and learning throughout RMS are excellent and that girls make exceptional progress at all levels. High attainment is reached within an exceptionally supportive environment where the pastoral care and welfare of the girls, both boarding and day, have the highest priority. The distinctive personal qualities of RMS girls were recognised; their awareness of and respect for one another; their commitment to charity and their desire always to do their personal best.

As Head, I am thrilled that the inspectors praised so highly the singular ethos of this inclusive and forward-looking school where all girls are enabled to fulfil their potential both academically and personally. The inspection reports attest to the success of the RMS recipe for an educational experience that is enjoyable yet challenging, fun yet focussed, rich yet rigorous.

I hope that you will come and visit our beautiful school and see for yourselves!
