WELCOME

Headmistress at RGS Surrey Hills

Hayley Robinson – Headmistress

Welcome to RGS Surrey Hills.

RGS Surrey Hills is a relationship‑focused, internationally minded school with a clear sense of purpose. As part of the Reigate Grammar School Group, we build on strong foundations while looking ahead with confidence.

Formerly Box Hill School, we are now fully integrated into the Reigate Grammar School family of schools, united by high standards, shared values and a commitment to educating the whole child. Being part of the RGS Group enables collaboration, shared expertise and wider opportunities, all underpinned by a tradition of excellence. Our warm, inclusive culture is shaped by internationally experienced staff and students from Surrey, across the UK and over 30 countries. This diversity enriches learning, broadens perspectives and prepares young people for a global future. Across the wider RGS Group, students benefit from being part of a connected educational community where they are known as individuals, encouraged to aim high and supported to contribute positively.

As a day and boarding school for ages 11–18, we balance academic challenge with exceptional pastoral care and character development. Guided by the Round Square philosophy, we place leadership, service and global understanding at the heart of school life.

Whether joining locally or from overseas, every student plays an important part in our community. We prepare young people not only for exams but for life beyond the classroom.

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

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.
