dbpprop:abstract
  • The Royal High School (RHS) of Edinburgh can trace its roots back to 1128, and is one of the oldest schools in Scotland. It is a co-educational state comprehensive school, administered by the City of Edinburgh Council. It serves about 1200 pupils, largely from the north-west suburbs of the city, in the EH4 postcode: Barnton, Cramond, Davidson's Mains, Blackhall, Cammo, Silverknowes, some areas of Muirhouse and Clermiston. It was last inspected by Her Majesty's Inspectors in April 2007. The Royal High School's national profile has at times given it a flagship role in public education, piloting such experiments as the introduction of the Certificate of Secondary Education, the provision of setting in English and mathematics, and the curricular integration of European studies and, formerly, the International Baccalaureate. The Latin tradition on which the school was established almost a millennium ago also endures: it is the only state school in Edinburgh to offer classical studies as a course option to those in their third year of secondary study; it is one of the few in Scotland to provide a classical education. It is also unusual in teaching geology as a subject. The incumbent rector is George Smuga. He is currently working with the Scottish Government to reform the national curriculum, and in his absence the senior depute, David Simpson, is acting head.
  • Die Geschichte der Royal High School (RHS) in Edinburgh lässt sich bis 1128 zurückverfolgen, womit sie als die älteste Schule in Schottland und als eine der ältesten in Europa gilt. Zunächst gehörte die Schule zur Holyrood Abbey, später wurde sie zu einer Institution zur Ausbildung von Franziskanermönchen. Bis 1974 war die Royal High School eine private Schule. Dann wurde sie von der Stadt Edinburgh übernommen. Die Schule ist bekannt für ihre strenge Erziehung, wobei Schuluniformen Pflicht sind. Mit der Übernahme durch die Stadt Edinburgh wurde es 1974 von einer reinen Jungenschule zu einer gemischten Schule, die momentan 1200 Schüler hat.
