The Junior School of the Royal Grammar School exists to provide a Junior School education for boys wishing to proceed to the Newcastle upon Tyne Royal Grammar School. All the main facilities, Sports Centre, music school, games fields, etc, of the two schools are shared.
The curriculum followed is linked to the National Curriculum though boys will progress both faster and further through the Levels of Attainment than in maintained schools. More importantly, the education provided is progressive, preparing pupils for the rigours of the academic courses they will follow in the Senior School.
