Previously known as Box Hill School, our transition to RGS Surrey Hills marks an exciting new chapter — not just in name, but in vision — as we fully embrace our place within the Reigate Grammar School (RGS) Group of Schools, a global family of leading independent schools.

Please read the Letter from Box Hill School’s Chair of Governors and the Letter from Reigate Grammar School’s Chair of Governors.

RGS Surrey Hills is a vibrant day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 11–18. We offer a first-class, holistic education that nurtures academic achievement, personal growth, and global perspective. Rooted in the internationally respected Round Square philosophy, our students develop character, confidence, and compassion – equipping them for success in a rapidly changing world.

Our community combines day students from Surrey and the surrounding areas, and boarders from over 30 countries, creating a diverse and inclusive environment where all students are known, supported, and celebrated. So whether your child is joining us from near or far, they will play an important part in a school that values ambition, individuality, and belonging – preparing them not just for exams, but for life.

ACADEMIC
