Regents has just launched a cutting-edge learning programme for children aged 7 to 11 who are new to English. Known as ‘Intensive +’, the programme is unique to Regents.

One of the most exciting outcomes from The Juilliard Continuing Professional Development was that we got to meet our Juilliard Curriculum Specialist, Kathryn Anderson, who is linked to our school and will be working alongside the Regents Music Staff to introduce and embed the curriculum.

Using funds from the Round Square Special Projects budget, I am pleased to announce that we were able to offer scholarships to six Primary aged-children and three university students. These children, and their families, are very thankful for the support and the opportunity which Regents has given them and in return, we will be updated on how the students are getting on in their education throughout the year.

On Thursday June 25th, a warm but overcast day, all the Regents Primary students and staff left classrooms, corridors and offices for the afternoon to take part in what has become a very popular and hard-fought annual event – the Regents Race.
