Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai pupils, under the terms of the partnership, will now be afforded access to the region’s best sporting facilities including the spectrum of indoor and outdoor sporting grounds; new tennis courts; nine-lane athletics track; and, five full-size FIFA approved football pitches.

The partnership, which sees the Royal Grammar School Guildford being awarded the highest Platinum Partnership available in ISD Dubai Sports City, will see every RGSGD student have comprehensive access access to the world class facilities facilities from 9am to 4pm on every school day throughout the year.

The aim is the Sport at RGS will not only be unrivalled in the region, but available both when it is needed – and when it counts most.
