The Royal School Association enjoys a dual role; one is the management of the Old Girls’ associations and the other is perhaps the more visible to all parents, staff and current pupils - the fundraising and social side to the association.

Throughout the year the RSA committee organises various events where the aim is to forge social links amongst parents and raise funds for projects. Parents are given notice of dates and times via our weekly newsletter.

Events over the last year have included a Fashion Show, the Revue, a Summer Ball, the Bonfire Party, Christmas Shopping in London, the Christmas Fayre and a Talent Competition.

Any monies raised at events are issued to the School for projects either small or major, to enhance the childrens’ time at The Royal. Over recent years the RSA has been able to donate funds to pay for the following major projects:

• The refurbishment of the Royal Jubilee Theatre at the Senior School. This facility greatly benefits the whole school and is used constantly by our music and drama departments for performances
• The installation of a media suite. This has given girls the opportunity to record in a state of the art media studio and has enabled the senior school to offer media based academic studies to A level
• Most recently we have been very proud to donate over half the funds required to refurbish the top floor of Hindhead Court at our Junior School. This has opened up more areas to be used by our youngest children; the School also opened a creative arts studio in April 2010
• The RSA has made a significant contribution to the building of the Sports Hall viewing gallery which opens at the end of 2011

All these are wonderful additions to the already superb facilities available to children in all parts of the School.
