Our Inspiring Minds Series is just one way we bring the wider world into school, connecting students with thought leaders, pioneers, and changemakers across a range of fields.
Inspiring Minds
Over the years, we have welcomed a remarkable line-up of speakers from political figures like Sir Vince Cable and Lord Heseltine, to sporting greats such as Sam Warburton and Pamela Cookey, and inspirational voices like journalist Fiona Millar. This Autumn, we were honoured to host Sir Peter Lampl (RGS ’64), widely recognised as the UK’s most significant educational philanthropist.
Debate, Discussion and Model United Nations
Our culture of conversation does not end there. The school’s rich programme of debate and discussion is flourishing, from Model United Nations (MUN) clubs for both juniors and seniors, to our flagship ReiMUN conference, now also featuring a dedicated Junior conference.
Our Debating Clubs are thriving, with enthusiastic take-up across year groups, a growing House Debating Competition, and exciting plans to launch a local debate league and compete nationally.
Festival of the Spoken Word
We are proud to be launching the Festival of the Spoken Word in February 2026 which will become an annual celebration of student voice. The event will showcase everything from monologues to poetry recitals, with the centrepiece being TED Talk-style presentations from students themselves - big ideas, beautifully spoken.
Future Voices
As we continue to inspire and be inspired, we look forward to welcoming more brilliant speakers and supporting every student to find their voice, their passion, and their purpose.
