The Royal Grammar School High Wycombe (RGS or RGSHW for short) is a selective boys grammar school situated in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. As a state school it does not charge fees for students to attend, but they must pass an entrance exam (The 11+). It bears many traditions - for example, the headmaster and deputy headmasters often wear academic gowns. In February 2011 the school became an Academy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.education.gov.uk/academies/a0069811/open-academies-map-and-schools-submitting-applications )〕 Established by Royal Charter in 1562 (though originally established as a school in 1548), it is situated on Amersham Hill to the north of the town and has a capacity of about 1450 boys aged between 11 and 19. The school has boarding facilities and is a DfES-designated Language College. In 2007 it was also awarded the privilege of becoming a Mathematics and ICT College due to its outstandingly high performance in these areas which led to Ofsted recommendation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 format=PDF )〕 It is highly regarded by bodies such as OFSTED, which gave it a Grade 1 ranking in every area of its 2015 inspection,〔 Grade 1 is "outstanding".〕 and it regularly achieves high rankings on a country-wide scale for GCSE and A-level results. The current Headmaster is Mr. Philip Wayne. He succeeded Mr Roy Page (long term master at the school, former Senior Deputy Headmaster, then former Acting Headmaster), in 2015. ==Facilities== The school has over 120 classrooms, two sports gyms, a large multi-purpose hall (named "the Queen's Hall"), several ICT rooms with computers for boys use, several art workshops and technology labs, an interactive library, two large sports fields, an indoor swimming pool, sports hall, a canteen, modern language block and a three floor science block. As a Language College, it is compulsory for boys to study French until GCSE. Other modern language subjects include Spanish and German as the main choices. In addition, boys have the opportunity to study Japanese, Russian, Swedish, Mandarin Chinese, Italian, Latin and Ancient Greek. A music centre was opened in late 2004, improving the school's music facilities, including the ability to now offer A Level boys the subject Music Technology. RGS High Wycombe is also recognised as a top sporting school. Amongst the many extracurricular activities, boys can participate in the on-site Combined Cadet Force, the Public Speaking Society, music and orchestras, drama, social service, fencing, and a very large variety of sports. The school has two very large playing fields for its sporting use. The RGS also has its own .22 25 yard indoor range which is used by the shooting team of the school. In Winter 2010, building work started on the ''Shaping Our Destiny'' campaign, a large-scale plan produced by the school's senior staff and board of governours to expand and renovate existing facilities. Phase I was completed in June 2011, and the new Sixth Form Mezzanine opened in 2012. The whole campaign added extra Maths classrooms, improved Sixth Form study facilities and school changing rooms, added more toilets and expanded the Fitness/gym suite. In 2013, planning permission for an All Weather Pitch was granted, and in 2014, work began raising £1m to fund the creation of this 3G floodlit pitch, a new grass pitch and also to renovate the 100-year-old Main Block classroooms. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
