ONE REIGATIAN COMMUNITY, STRONGER, TOGETHER
As a new parent of a Reigate Grammar School student, we welcome you to our vibrant Reigatian community (current and former parents, former pupils, staff, Governors, friends of the school), and we encourage your connectivity and involvement.
There are so many ways to get involved:
• Join the Reigate Grammar School Professionals group via LinkedIn and become part of a connected networking group of 2,000 like-minded members. We hold industry-specific events as well as social activities
• As your child progresses through RGS, the Foundation can help connect them with members of our community for work experience placements, or to seek advice on career path decisions. We are here to help and to do that we need your involvement!
• Can you offer work experience, careers advice or become a mentor to current and former RGS pupils?
• We offer student leadership roles when your child reaches the Sixth Form. Our Foundation Ambassadors attend Foundation events, deliver their own fundraising campaigns within school and help create content to support our initiatives
• Over 400 Reigatians are currently studying at university. We can draw upon this huge resource to give your child the inside track on university life, degree courses and even university choices
• This is a global community! Reigatians spread far and wide. We can provide business links both in the UK and overseas. If your child is looking to travel or work abroad, we can assist, connect and support your child with their exciting plans.
The RGS Professionals Group was set up back in 2012 as a way to connect and reach our wider network of alumni, parents, supporters and businesses. Now with over 2,000 members, we continue to drive focus to strengthen and grow our community. With events from golf days and school trips to overseas gatherings, we are fortunate we have established strong foundations within our network.
Inspiring Minds is just one of the many events we host throughout the year. We are so grateful to have a broad wealth of experience to draw upon and we recently invited five individuals to join our esteemed panel from across our Reigatian community to share advice that helped them to achieve in their chosen field.
From mentoring to coaching, hosting to work experience, advice or networking, there really is something for everyone to benefit from or add value to. If you would like to join our Professionals Group, please scan the QR code.
Target for 2025 – The School’s 350th Anniversary
The award-winning Changing Lives campaign launched in 2014 and has supported 92 bursary students to date. To celebrate the school’s 350 anniversary in 2025, we set ourselves a target of having 50 fully-funded Changing Lives bursary students in the school at any one time. Thanks to our amazing community, we achieved our target 3 years early! For more information visit rgs.foundation/changing-lives or scan the QR code.
We take this process incredibly seriously. It’s not about sales-patter, box-ticking and vague check-ins. It’s about building real relationships and understanding the why behind your wants and needs. We’ve helped many RGS parents relocate, so if you’re looking to move, then please do reach out to one of the team.
