Welcome to RGS Surrey Hills.

RGS Surrey Hills is a school defined by strong relationships, international outlook and a clear sense of purpose. As part of the Reigate Grammar School Group, we are building on firm foundations while looking forward with confidence and ambition.

Formerly Box Hill School, RGS Surrey Hills is now fully embedded within a family of schools that share high standards, clear values and a belief in education that develops the whole child. Belonging to the RGS Group brings the opportunity to collaborate, share expertise and widen horizons, while upholding a tradition of excellence that runs across every RGS school.

Our culture sits at the heart of school life. RGS Surrey Hills is a warm, inclusive and outward-looking community, shaped by an internationally experienced staff body and students drawn from Surrey, the UK and more than 30 countries worldwide. This diversity is integral to who we are. It enriches daily learning, encourages curiosity and empathy and prepares young people to thrive in a global world.

As a day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 11–18, we offer an education that balances academic rigour with pastoral care, character development and personal growth. Guided by the internationally recognised Round Square philosophy, we place leadership, service and global understanding at the centre of the student experience.

Being part of the wider RGS Group – including Chinthurst Prep, Micklefield Prep, Reigate St Mary’s, St Christopher’s and Reigate Grammar School – means our students benefit from belonging to a connected educational community. They are known as individuals, supported to aim high and encouraged to contribute positively both within and beyond the school.

Whether joining us locally or from overseas, every student plays an important role in the life of RGS Surrey Hills. We prepare young people not only for examinations, but for life beyond the classroom – with confidence, compassion and ambition.

I warmly invite you to visit the school and experience RGS Surrey Hills for yourself.

ACADEMIC

Small class sizes allow for personalised support, while a culture of ambition ensures that every student is challenged to achieve their best.

Learning at RGS Surrey Hills extends well beyond the classroom. Sport, creative arts and a rich co-curricular programme play an integral role in developing character, resilience and balance. Our students leave us not only academically prepared for the demands of university, but equipped with the confidence, skills and perspective to thrive in an ever-changing world.
