"Supportive and inclusive environment"

My child has had a fantastic experience at CRGS. The school's values of respect, empathy and kindness really shine through in the way the students and staff interact with each other. The teachers are also very supportive and go above and beyond to help their students succeed.

"Excellent School - Outstanding Teachers!"

I'm so impressed with the facilities at CRGS! The sports centre and theatre are second to none. My child has been really well supported by the teachers and I've noticed a significant improvement in their grades since joining the school. Highly recommend!

"A great school with some minor areas for improvement"

We've had a good experience at CRGS so far. The teachers are engaging and the curriculum is challenging. However, I do think the school could improve its communication with parents - it's not always easy to get in touch with teachers or know what's going on. Still, overall a great school!

"A school that truly cares for its students"

We were at CRGS for 7 years and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The pastoral care is excellent and the school genuinely puts the needs of its students first. My son thrived during his time here and I have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
