School Societies
LRGS is home to a wide range of student run societies, including a Literature Society, History Society, Science Society, Armchair Generals, Duke of Edinburgh's award, and the Whewell Society. The Whewell Society, named in honour of William Whewell, an old boy, was founded in 1908 and is the oldest continuous society in the school. It was founded by the sixth form as a society to promote the arts, music and debate. Since the 1950s, the society has been purely debating and has enjoyed success in competitions. It continues to thrive under student leadership.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or societies:
“Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go;
He followed her to school one day—
That was against the rule,
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.”
—Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788–1879)
“All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
