The school enjoys a long association with the Duchy of Lancaster, which is part of the King’s estate. We are grateful to the Duchy for an annual grant to support our pupils. 

That grant allows LRGS students (Year 10 upwards) to apply for up to £500 for a project of their choice – to achieve something extraordinary! There are three categories:  Praesis ut Prosis (leadership & service), Excellence, and Enrichment. 

We have received brilliant applications for these competitive awards. These are some of this year’s successful entries. They give a glimpse of our students’ energy and creativity! 

• Flying: Fund a flying lesson, with a long-term goal of becoming a pilot. This pupil took the attached photo of the Upper Site! 
• Astrophotography: Buy an astro-imaging mount to track the motion of the stars
• Curling: Support costs of training and competition in elite curling
• Robotics: Fund equipment to complete projects with a long-term goal of becoming a Robotics Engineer
• CAD Society: To set up this new club with a 3D resin printer more precise than our existing machines
• Powerboat: Gain an RYA Instructor qualification to develop skills gained in the CCF RN Section, and share expertise with other pupils
• Laptop: Develop stock management software for a business, develop coding, support A-level Computing, and enter an essay competition
• Swim England: Gain a Pool Plant Operating Qualification to help maintain two not-for-profit pools that support children, including some from areas of significant financial need

We will be excited to see next year’s applications!
