As one of the best facilities in the country, the new RGS cutting-edge Esports Hub Centre, is a decisive step into one of the world’s fastest-growing industries. For every child who enters, their eyes widen with excitement at the possibilities for fun and learning through teamwork, competition, and creativity.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Andy Paul (RGS 1968-1975), CEO of Corsair, the school has received significant sponsorship and high-performance gaming equipment. The Hub equips students with valuable skills that span coding, design, event management, and more, all within a world-class esports environment preparing children for career paths across a wide spectrum of industries.
This short film was made by Corsair to capture the unveiling of the Hub. This isn’t just about gaming; it’s about future-proofing our students for the fastest-growing industry on the planet - our students are diving into an industry that’s bigger than ever - projected to hit $1.6 billion in revenue by 2025 and with over 500 million global viewers.
Esports isn’t just gaming; it’s a gateway to booming careers in tech, design, and eCommerce. We’re proud to give our students a future-ready edge in one of the fastest-growing industries on the planet!
RGS is committed to making this resource available not only to its students but also to the wider community, offering local children and groups access to one of the top esports facilities in the UK.
Headmaster, Shaun Fenton, commented:
“Esports is a thriving global industry that teaches teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving, while also being tremendous fun. School should be fun! This allows us to help the community and our own children. We are so grateful to Andy Paul and Corsair.”
The Esports Hub will also enable RGS to help others as the school donates old IT systems to Lotus High School in South Africa, demonstrating the school’s commitment to creating a butterfly effect of generosity and opportunity on a global scale.
This facility is a testament to RGS’s forward-thinking approach to education, preparing students for the future while fostering collaboration and community engagement.
