About the School

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.

As a proud member of the Reigate Grammar School Group of Schools, we foster a holistic and personalised learning experience that promotes inclusivity and aspiration. This is a local school in a global village. Students from the local area form a lovely, kind, caring community. As they move towards the Sixth Form,our community is enriched by new friends, classmates who join us from around the globe, enabling a distinctive, rich international experience, preparing today's children to inherit the world.

As a proud founder member of Round Square,we embrace the educational philosophy of Kurt Hahn. Round Square's pillars - Internationalism, Democracy, Environmental concern, Adventure, Leadership, and Service(IDEALS) - are central to our educational approach.
We provide a holistic education, helping students find identity,
meaning, and purpose through connections to the community, the natural world, and humanitarian values. This is achieved through a wide range of activities, including sports, creative arts, service, outward bound pursuits, and democratic participation, alongside academic learning. We are academically ambitious for the children to achieve qualifications that open doors of opportunity, and we aim to be the first choice for those who understand that education is about growing the whole child.
On top of this, we are pleased to have been invited to join HMC, the exclusive association of leading independent schools from across the UK.
