been developed through a combination of improved greens quality and gorse planting. The principal rugby pitches will have benefitted from mechanical work to improve the surface levels as well as an overall better sward density." “In five years’ time I believe turf quality standards will have been improved at the front of the school, and there will be cricket outfield and rugby pitch improvement on the main areas, I’d anticipate we’d be contracting out a renovation programme on a two/ three-year cycle.” “We could give the municipal areas a bit more purpose and make better use of them, as they are closer to the school than the sports field. I’d imagine that the surface
would still be turf. Because of our location we have to be careful about where we locate hardstanding areas - planning permission would be required. However, all options should be considered if progress is to be made.”
“Other things might be simplified, like a reduced number of flower borders in areas of low footfall. These areas can be rationalised yet, at the same time, we don’t want to make the site sterile. Generally, I want to raise the bar across the site, so that on our worst day we have an acceptable level of landscape management through sustainable improvements.”
The history of the Royal Hospital School
The Royal Hospital School (usually shortened to ‘RHS’) is one of the UK’s leading independent boarding and day schools providing a full and broad education, enriched by a unique naval heritage.
The school is located in the village of Holbrook, near Ipswich. The school’s campus is of Queen Anne style and set in 200 acres of countryside overlooking the River Stour on the Shotley Peninsula in an area known as Constable Country.
The Royal Hospital School was established by a Royal Charter in 1712. It was originally located in Greenwich, London, in the buildings that now house the National Maritime Museum, but moved to East Anglia in 1933.
It is the only UK independent boarding school to have ever been continuously granted the Queen’s Banner and it flies its own Admiralty-approved Royal Hospital School Blue Ensign.
It is one of only two UK schools whose students have the privilege of wearing Royal Navy uniforms, the other being
56 PC October/November 2018 Pangbourne College in Berkshire.
Seafaring traditions are important and integral elements of school life and Royal Navy uniforms (sailor’s suits) are issued to all pupils and used for ceremonial and formal events. The school is owned by the Crown naval charity, Greenwich Hospital and, as a result, provides a number of means-tested bursaries for families with a seafaring background.
Leadership development is another distinctive feature of the Royal Hospital School derived from the naval background. Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines Combined Cadet Force, along with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, are the most popular extracurricular activities at the Royal Hospital School. The Combined Cadet Force also includes a Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Section.
HMS Dauntless is affiliated with the Royal Navy CCF. The Army Section is affiliated with Army Air Corps.
