Mr Shaun Fenton’s Message To RGS Vietnam Students

During his recent visit to RGS Vietnam, Mr Shaun Fenton OBE, Headmaster of Reigate Grammar School (UK), spent significant time engaging with students alongside his intensive executive schedule with the school leadership team. He joined house teams in sports day competitions, read with primary school pupils, and had insightful discussions with Secondary and Sixth Form students. Mr Fenton was hugely impressed by the exceptional young people at RGS Vietnam and expressed his confidence in their ability to achieve both academic excellence and strong character development.

A passionate advocate for education, Mr Fenton is dedicated to improving schools and providing opportunities for young people. As he once said, “The most important thing is the positive experience of our pupils each day and the impact of our work on the local community. It is a privilege to be a teacher.” His recent visit to RGS Vietnam truly embodied this spirit. He not only worked closely with the school leadership team but also immersed himself in school life, forming strong bonds with students.

With a firm belief in the transformative power of education and the importance of pastoral care, Mr Fenton has led RGS UK to numerous accolades, including UK Independent School of the Year for Wellbeing (2019), UK School of the Year for Pastoral Care and Community Outreach (2019), College of the Year 2021, Tatler 2020-21 Best UK Independent School of the Year, and most recently, was recognised as a finalist for both Headteacher of the Year and Independent School of the Year by Education Today.

Inspired by his visit, Mr Fenton's message to RGS Vietnam students is one of encouragement and belief in their individual potential. His dedication and example serve as a motivation for students to strive for excellence. To RGS Vietnam students, Mr Fenton is more than just a prestigious Headmaster; he is an enthusiastic teacher who inspires and motivates, fostering a sense of pride in their educational journey.
