• RGS Surrey Hills is personal, outdoorsy and holistic, and aims to blend academic ambition with community, humanitarian values and a strong sense of place.

• Will suit families who want a smaller Surrey senior school with boarding, but who are comfortable with the fact that the school’s public identity has recently changed.

Admissions at RGS Surrey Hills are broad, coherent and designed around continuity, with clear appeal for families seeking a small Surrey senior school with flexible boarding, countryside setting and a current public identity that clearly sits within the Reigate Grammar School family. It should suit parents who value a more personal-scale senior school experience, with boarding available, inside a larger family-of-schools structure.

Scholarships and bursaries may form part of the wider RGS family offer, but the bigger attraction is the combination of small-school feel, Surrey countryside setting and flexible boarding.

The overall picture is both attractive and transitional, because the school is now openly positioning itself as RGS Surrey Hills following its move into the Reigate Grammar School family in 2025. Families should therefore read this as a school with a fresh public identity rather than a long-settled one, and visit to judge how the rebrand feels in day-to-day reality.
