The Board of Governors has traditionally regarded the education of the boys at R.B.A.I as a cooperative process involving themselves, the Principal, the Council of Studies, the Staff, the parents, and the boys. The doors of the school are open to boys of good ability without regard to race, creed or status: it is a school of the whole community and not of a section only. Within this context the aims of the school are: To develop each pupil to his maximum academic potential and to stimulate him to enjoy the attainment of knowledge and excellence. The school will offer a broad and balanced range of subjects within which boys may choose appropriate courses. All boys will be encouraged to develop a wide range of learning skills, to acquire habits of self study and inquiry.
To provide each pupil with the knowledge and skills necessary for everyday life and for working life. The broad curriculum will cover areas of experience from the expressive and creative to the scientific and technological. Appropriate use will be made of Information Technology. There will be a comprehensive careers guidance programme. Extra-curricular programmes will complement the academic courses.
To provide and promote the conditions in which each pupil can develop as an individual. The school will encourage ideas such as tolerance, service, discipline, reliability and responsibility. The school will help pupils to recognise their strength and weaknesses, and to develop the first and remedy the second.
To prepare pupils to become responsible and active members of society. The school will foster awareness of the structure of today's societies. Pupils will develop an awareness of man's heritage in a wide range of areas. The school will encourage initiative and co-operation as well as developing suitable attitudes towards healthy competition.
To stress the importance of good health and physical fitness.
