Uniform Drive
The Royal High School is committed to a school dress code. Apart from the very important tradition in this, we wish to have pupils who are proud to be identified with their school.
We need your support in helping us to maintain this, and we are currently having a focus on uniform in school. Please continue to work with us to make this successful.
See Parent Zone for further details.

Hairspray hits the Royal High School!
Hairspray, The Royal High School fringe production, recently finished its run, playing to sellout audiences and rave reviews! This was a fast-moving, colourful extravaganza of talent - Kat Croan belting out "Good Morning Baltimore", and stunning performances from Chantelle Hoyle as Motormouth Maybelle, Kenneth Brown as Link Larkin, Sophie Irvine in the role of Penny Pingleton, and of course the fabulous and unforgettable comic duet between Edna Turnblad (Cameron Henderson) and Wilbur (Shea Moran-Davidson).
It’s 1962, the 50s are out and change is in the air. Baltimore’s Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion - to dance.
She wins a spot on the local TV dance programme, &lsquol;The Corny Collins Show’ and, overnight, is transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity.
But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the programme‘s reigning princess, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her ‘do’? Only in ‘Hairspray’ - welcome to the 60s!
The smash-hit feel-good musical ‘Hairspray’ with our cast of exceptionally talented pupils couldn’t wait to take you on a toe-tappin‘ journey back to the 60’s, and the show followed hot on the heels of our previous sell-out shows ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘High School Musical’.
