RSD Boarding

At RSD our aim is to ensure that boarding is an enjoyable experience and that the boarding environment helps boarders to develop academically, spiritually, physically and emotionally.

I feel welcomed

We work hard to ensure that entering RSD as a new Year 8 pupil is both an exciting and reassuring experience.

I feel confident

We provide a safe and caring environment where pupils have the opportunity to develop their self-confidence and reach their academic potential in an atmosphere of mutual respect.

I feel a sense of belonging

Our House System complements the pastoral work of the Heads of Year and Form Tutors and contributes to the pupils’ sense of belonging to the school community.

I feel proud

Pupils are expected to wear their uniform with pride and to understand that they represent the School and are promoting its identity.

I am learning

The focus at RSD is on learning. We value knowledge and help all pupils to have a sound understanding of the subjects they study.

I am discovering

Our curriculum is a blend of traditional subjects from the Sciences, Arts, Humanities and Languages alongside more practical and contemporary subjects.

I am progressing

We monitor the academic progress of all pupils during each Key Stage. The focus is on helping pupils and parents to understand where a pupil is in terms of his or her learning in each subject.

I am achieving

At RSD pupils fulfil their academic potential. Performance is consistently above the average figures for both UK and Northern Ireland schools. GCSE Results A Level Results
