The proof of our approach to educating the whole child lies in the success of our children in achieving places, often with scholarships, at prominent senior schools.
As the junior school of Reigate Grammar School we are very well placed to prepare children for entry into RGS. The Grammar School is the choice for the majority of our leavers and pupils sit the entrance exams in January.
However, as Reigate St Mary's is a non-selective school, not all of our children wish to progress to RGS. Standardised testing throughout the school ensures that we are able to effectively advise parents before senior school applications are submitted. We have a good track record in preparing pupils for a wide range of successful senior schools, including Dunottar, Box Hill, Ardingly and Worth.
Year Six leavers were asked what they would miss most about Reigate St Mary's. Here are just a few of their replies…
“The fabulous support you get from all the teachers.”
“All the friends I've made… and the great new facilities.”
“All the teachers and all my friends who are going to different schools.”
“My really nice friends, who have been good to me over the years.”
“The friendly atmosphere.”
“The games lessons, because they're really fun.”
“The lunches, I'll definitely miss them.”
“The sports hall, the teachers and all the little ones running around the playground.”
