The Royal Latin School is a co-educational grammar school in Buckingham, England. It is a voluntary controlled school, which takes children from the age of 11 through to the age of 18. The school has over 1220 pupils, including a sixth form of over 370 pupils. It maintains a teaching and non-teaching staff of over 120. In September 2003 the school was designated by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) as a specialist school in Science. It successfully redesignated in 2007.

Since the County boundary adjustments of 1974 placed Eton College in Berkshire, the Royal Latin Grammar School claims the distinction of being the sole pre-Reformation grammar school in the County.[1] The Royal Latin School was graded overall as good in the 2006 report by Ofsted and Outstanding in Curriculum and other Activities and Personal Development and Wellbeing.

[edit] Houses

Each pupil, upon entrance, is placed into one of six houses named after influential figures involved in founding the school. The six houses are:

Houses Significance
Ruding John Ruding was awarded the title of Archdeacon of Lincoln and Prebendary of Sutton cum Buckingham in 1471 and was therefore responsible for funding the upkeep of all church owned buildings including that which subsequently housed the Royal Latin School.
Stratton Stratton left support for the Buckingham Chantry Chapel to support his soul in purgatory when he died in 1268. The chantry priest he funded, later started the school at Buckingham.
Verney As the school grew during the early 20th century it was forced to move to a new purpose built site on Chandos road (now the site of Grenville Combined School), a move made possible by the work of Lady Verney.
Barton Involved in founding schools both in the Chantry Chapel and in 1468, a grammar school in Thornton. These were combined to form the Royal Latin School during the 16th Century.
Denton Although Isobel Denton was mistakenly claimed to have founded the school during the sixteenth century, in the late 17th century Alexander Denton rebuilt the master's house following a destructive fire.
Newton Gabriel Newton founded Green Coat Schools throughout England including in Buckingham. He provided an annual endowment of £26 which was transferred to the Royal Latin school in 1904.

[edit] Student positions

Prefects are chosen from the members of the sixth form, in particular the lower sixth (year 12) during the first half of the Autumn term.

Senior Prefects are chosen from existing prefects upon entry into the upper sixth (year 13) following consultation with teachers.

Every year, one male and one female member of the upper sixth are made Head Boy and Head Girl respectively. The decision is made following consultation with staff, interviews with the candidates and a discussion session. The positions are announced during the first half term of the year.

[edit] History

The school has played a significant role in the town of Buckingham since its earliest recorded reference in 1423, although it is thought that the school may date from the 13th century.

Although Buckingham's citizens supported Catherine of Aragon and her daughter Mary Tudor, and were opposed to the Reformation, the Chantry Chapel in which the Royal Latin School was based, rather than being destroyed by Edward VI (as many similar establishments were) was instead converted into the Royal Latin School. The Chantry Chapel remained the home of the Royal Latin School until 1907 when Buckinghamshire County Council provided major new buildings for the school and did so again in 1963. The warm brown brickwork of the 1963 extensions complements the stone built structure of the earlier buildings, the whole being enhanced by its parkland setting.[2]

In 2006 The U15 rugby side made school history by becoming the first side from the Royal Latin to reach the semi finals of the Daily Mail vase.
