About Reigate Grammar School
REIGATE GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Alderman Henry Smith founded Reigate Grammar School in
1675. For over 345 years, young people have been educated
on the same site, in the heart of Reigate, an historic market
town in the east of Surrey at the foothills of the North Downs
in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
RGS is a leading HMC independent co-educational day school.
It is a highly successful, happy and exciting school, which aims
to provide a broad and balanced education to boys and girls
that will prepare them for the modern world. The school song,
To Be a Pilgrim, reminds our students that they are on a journey
of noble purpose, to have an impact and to make the world a
better place. We aim to educate the whole child and offer a
broad range of experiences for all. We are an inclusive school
and, built upon the vision of our founder, are committed to
social mobility and the provision of bursaries through wider
access and a supportive Reigatian community.
“Happy Kids Great Results” Good Schools Guide 2019
Reigate Grammar School caters for over 1050 students aged
11 to 18. Another 600 students are educated at Reigate St
Mary’s Preparatory and Choir School and Chinthurst School,
RGS’s junior and nursery schools – both recently shortlisted
for UK Independent Prep School of the Year. RGS offers the
very best academic education with equal prominence placed
on the arts, sport and a rich extra-curricular programme. RGS
has a distinctive educational philosophy and a strong ethos of
pastoral care underpinning a well-rounded education. The
House system has some clearly defined aims: for everyone to
feel part of a team; to allow leadership to be nurtured; talent
to shine; confidence to surge; teamwork to flourish; and
competitive spirit to develop. In the school’s academic culture
of intellectual freedom, the structure of the curriculum means
that students receive a strong grounding in core subjects but
can elect to pursue any area of interest. In the elective
curriculum, one student may learn to trade stocks while
another deepens their understanding of French literature. It is
a challenging and balanced education, equipping students for
the opportunities and demands of their future lives and
allowing them to explore their personal passions.
The first line of the school’s most recent ISI report asserts that
‘the quality of the students’ achievements and learning is
exceptional’: the first co-ed day school to achieve this rare
accolade. RGS’ approach to teaching and learning melds expert
teaching knowledge with a modern, innovative approach to
pedagogy with a judicious use of technology. Inspirational and
personalised teaching and learning is at the centre of the vision
and requires expert teachers. The school is one of a small
number of world-class schools to have been a global pioneer in
High Performance Learning, focusing on the development of
global citizens, advanced performers and enterprising learners.
Outcomes at RGS are world-class with 86% of GCSE entries
graded at 9-7 in 2023. A Level results are equally impressive,
with over 95% of entries graded A* to B. 96% of our A Level
students went on to Oxbridge, Russell Group and other top
universities and medical schools. In 2019, RGS was named
Independent School of the Year for Wellbeing and Pastoral
Care at the TES Awards – the most important element of any
great education – and also received the award of School of the
Year for Community Outreach; in 2020 RGS was named Public
School of the Year 2020-2021 by Tatler, the school Oscars; in
2021 RGS was named School of the Year in the UK Social
Mobility Awards; and in 2023 RGS is a finalist in the
Independent School of the Year Awards for Contribution to
Social Mobility.
Shaun Fenton, Headmaster, acknowledged as one of the
outstanding educational leaders in this country, was
elected Chairman of HMC in 2018-2019 and most recently
awarded the OBE by Her Majesty the Queen for Services to
Education.
