The Royal Masonic School for Girls

I was a student here for a year and half when I was 11 years old. I was bullied relentlessly and endlessly and the staff did nothing about it - they watched it happen and let it happen. I was miserable, I didn't eat, I didn't sleep. Eventually I refused to go back to the school and it has now left me with severe mental health problems. Do not send your children here.

Wonderful girls school set in 300 acres of green land with its own forest for the girls to explore and golf course for them to practice on. Headmaster Carsons believes in putting the girls needs first instead of competing in league tables which creates a more relaxed and enjoyment learning environment for the girls but also more focused of each individual in order to bring the best out in them whatever they path they choose to follow. In previous year this has lead to RMS girls to go onto several top universities including oxbridge to study subjects such as core sciences and STEAM etc.

My 2 daughters attended this school as boarders, whilst the education and extra curricular activities were fine their boarding experience was horrific. It is not a home away from home unless in your home you bully your children, shout at them, belittle them and ensure they live in a constant state of anxiety. The boarding house staff are awful, they also use teenage girls from abroad on gap years to bolster staff numbers in the houses, at least one of them bullied my 11 year old daughter. Pastoral care is abysmal. Apart from the terrible staff whilst some of the girls were lovely, many were cliquey and bullied the younger girls in the houses in full view of staff. We tried for months to communicate with the staff to improve the situation my girls were experiencing but nothing changed and in the end we had to remove them in the middle of the term. My children went there happy, confident, high achieving girls and my youngest left with an eating disorder and mental health issues. We hugely regret ever choosing RMS for Girls and would advise you to avoid it at all costs for your daughters.

This is to every girl wondering if this school is the right one . Firstly, yes. Choose RMS. You cant do anything wrong with this school. When I had to choose between all the wonderful boarding schools on this earth I did the same as you, I Googled each one my agents suggested and the first thing I saw when i googled RMS was a Google review from a girl describing her time here as the worst of her life. This scared me a lot and I wanted to eliminate RMS from my school pool, but my parents convinced me to give RMS a chance so my mother and I flew to England and 2 girls showed us around. Eventually I (with subtle influence of my mother) choose RMS and Gosh I couldnt be happier I made that decision. This turned out to be so much more than a school, it became my home and honestly more than half to the things I love about this school are not on the internet. Of course to you this is just a random strangers opinion on a random school but behind RMS there is caring amazing staff, so many clubs for literally anything, endless musical and sporty opportunitys amazing friendships and lessons, the huge grounds and everything you could ever wish from a school. (And as I have learned, if you want something they dont have or dont offer: just ask they really do anything for you to be happy) And the only thing I havent mentioned is academics (because its quite easy to take from their gcse, a level results or where their students study at) but of course the lessons here are brilliant. But a warning, this school is more fun if you like learning something or at least have an interest in anything because if youre a boring person, a good school wont seem special)
