WELCOME

Choosing the right school is about more than academic results. It is about finding a place where your child will feel happy, supported and confident enough to fulfil their potential.

RGS Surrey Hills is a leading independent day and boarding school in Surrey for students aged 11–18. Set within 26 acres of beautiful countryside near Dorking and just 45 minutes from London, we offer a personalised educational experience that combines academic ambition with outstanding pastoral care.

As a deliberately small school, every student is known as an individual. Teachers understand their strengths, interests and aspirations, creating an environment where young people feel valued, challenged and encouraged to succeed. Small class sizes allow meaningful relationships to develop and ensure every student receives the support they need to thrive.

Students benefit from a broad and flexible curriculum, including GCSEs, A Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, providing pathways suited to a wide range of talents, interests and future ambitions. Whether students aspire to leading universities, careers in sport, the creative industries or international opportunities, they are supported every step of the way.

As part of the Reigate Grammar School family, students enjoy the advantages of a close-knit community alongside access to a wider network of opportunities. From leadership programmes and outdoor education to sport, performing arts and global experiences through Round Square, learning extends well beyond the classroom.

Our boarding community welcomes students from across the UK and around the world, creating a diverse and supportive environment where friendships flourish and young people develop independence, resilience and confidence.

For families seeking an independent school in Surrey that combines academic excellence, personal attention and exceptional opportunities, RGS Surrey Hills offers an education designed around the individual and focused on the future.

At RGS Surrey Hills, education extends beyond academic achievement. We believe in developing confident, compassionate young people with the character and resilience to make a positive difference.

Our approach is shaped by the Round Square IDEALS of Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership and Service. These principles are not simply taught in the classroom; they are woven throughout school life, helping students develop the skills, perspectives and values needed to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

Through leadership opportunities, outdoor education, service projects, cultural exchanges and everyday life within our diverse school community, students develop confidence, curiosity, respect and compassion.

As an award winning independent day and boarding school in Surrey, every student is known as an individual, encouraged to discover their strengths and supported to flourish. They leave RGS Surrey Hills with not only excellent qualifications, but also the character, confidence and perspective to succeed in whatever path they choose.
