Announcing the new聽NHS Scholar聽initiative
As a school, we are honoured to be able to support our NHS key workers and wider community through our聽聽initiative, however, we wish to go further. As such, 小优视频 is recognising the outstanding work of front line staff in the NHS, care homes and the emergency services, by聽prioritising 10 assisted places聽(bursaries) specifically for the children of health workers.
We wish to raise awareness of this commitment and ask members of our community to help spread the word.
鈥淥ur school, and its global community, recognises the outstanding contribution that NHS key workers make to the health and wellbeing of the British people, particularly at this time of national crisis. We are in awe of their commitment, passion and bravery as they protect and care for us all from their pivotal position on the front line.鈥
Shaun Fenton, 小优视频 Headmaster
The 10聽NHS Scholar聽places 鈥 which are available immediately 鈥 are reserved for the children of parents who work within the NHS and care sectors, including nurses, paramedics, porters, and cleaners.
Mr Fenton adds, 鈥淭he coronavirus crisis has reminded us that there are a whole host of professionals who keep hospitals and the wider health community running. These are the parents who we hope will be inspired to apply for a place for their child on our聽NHS Scholar听辫谤辞驳谤补尘尘别.鈥

Future plans鈥
Later this year, we will also be launching a special NHS Sixth Form bursary fund to discover and nurture the NHS medics of the future.
RGS already has strong reputation in this field with 100 percent of applicants accessing first-choice places at medical school in recent years.
鈥淲e all recognise the value and importance of our NHS. We also appreciate that not every child has the opportunity to realise their dreams. This fund will allow children from disadvantaged backgrounds to access a world-class education and fulfil their ambition to follow a medical pathway. We need our special community to help us to nurture the NHS heroes of the future.鈥
Sean Davey, Head of Foundation
