RGS Surrey Hills

The RGS Group has announced that Box Hill School in Mickleham, Surrey is joining its schools group and has relaunched as RGS Surrey Hills.

RGS Surrey Hills is a small, co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 11 to 18, set in a 40-acre campus.

RGS Group stated that the school will retain its own leadership team, teaching staff, community, and identity, continuing to offer both the International Baccalaureate and A-levels.

RGS Surrey Hills is also a member of the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference and a founding member of the Round Square international association.

Reigate Grammar School’s headmaster Shaun Fenton said: “This partnership gives choice to local families. RGS Surrey Hills is different to Reigate Grammar School but we will share the same holistic ambitions that our students will enjoy their childhood, learn about themselves and the world, and will leave school ready for a happy and successful adult life.”

Hayley Robinson, headmistress of RGS Surrey Hills, said: “This is an exciting new chapter that enables us to build on everything we already do so well – nurturing confident, compassionate young people with a strong sense of self and purpose. Joining the RGS Group strengthens our foundation and expands opportunities for our pupils and staff. As RGS Surrey Hills, we remain true to our spirit while aiming higher than ever – preparing our students not just for exams, but for life.”

Mark Elsey, chair of governors at RGS, commented: “RGS Surrey Hills will bring new strengths to our group and extend opportunities for local families, while protecting the exceptional experience at Reigate Grammar School. It is about offering choice without compromise.”
