Reigate Grammar School

What Reigate Grammar School does

Reigate Grammar School is an independent co-educational day school serving students aged 11–18, founded in 1675 and located in Reigate, Surrey, United Kingdom. It operates three core stages — Lower School (Years 7–8), Upper School (Years 9–11), and Sixth Form (Years 12–13) — delivering GCSE, A Level, and BTEC programmes, and reports 90% of students achieving GCSE Grades 9–7 (2025), 94% A Level grades A*–B, and 98% securing offers from world-class universities. The school is part of a broader RGS group network that includes Reigate St Mary's, Chinthurst School, Micklefield School, RGS Surrey Hills, St Christopher's School & Nursery, RGS Sport, and RGS International, creating a feeder pipeline from early years through Sixth Form.

The institution's primary revenue stream is recurring annual tuition fees, with secondary non-fee revenue flowing through the RGS Foundation (Registered Charity No. 1081898), which conducts fundraising via the Changing Lives, Building Futures campaign, the IMAGINE Prize Draw (in partnership with Jumblebee), corporate partnerships, and alumni engagement. The RGS Foundation operates the Reigatian Hub, an alumni engagement platform powered by ToucanTech that includes a Careers and Mentoring Platform, Business Directory, Work Opportunities Board, Professionals Hub, and content resources (Pilgrim Pod, Leaders' Insights, Need-To-Know Briefings). The school does not use proprietary technology systems; its digital estate runs on standard infrastructure (Google Analytics, Google Calendar, social login providers) and the ToucanTech alumni platform.

Reigate Grammar School runs an admissions-driven, direct-to-consumer go-to-market targeting families within commuting distance of Reigate, supplemented by a coach service to extend reach. Marketing channels include the official website, social media, The Castle magazine, open mornings, personal tours, and earned media (Tatler, The Good Schools Guide, Talk Education). It is governed by a Board of Governors, holds HMC professional association membership, and cleared the ISI Educational Quality Inspection in March 2023.
