Parent and Community Partnerships Hub

Welcome to our Reigate Grammar School Parent and Community Partnerships hub.

Involving yourself in your child’s education and their journey through the school is an exciting and rewarding challenge. The more we collaborate, the greater the benefits will be for you, your child and the whole RGS community. We would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who already support and enhance our whole school community: from the RGS PFA, completing school surveys, attendance at parent evening appointments to our individual parent helpers who assist at one of our term-time working open mornings, 11+ interview days, the annual open morning, or bespoke tours.

LPPA – The Leading Parent Partnership Award

RGS has been recognised with an accreditation called The Leading Parent Partnership Award. Research shows that when parents are involved in their child’s education it considerably raises their achievement. The Leading Parent Partnership Award, a national standard for effective parent partnership was secured by RGS this year acknowledging our work with all parents and carers. Parental engagement in school life improves pupil progress and makes for a happier community.

RGS Earthshot Lecture Series – A series of interesting lectures, from visiting speakers, to discuss important topics related to climate change and sustainbility. We encourage anyone who has an interest in geography, science, economics, politics, or simply a passion for sustainability to come along. These events are open to all pupils and parents to attend.

RGS Values – We consulted with RGS students, by conducting a survey, to discover the values they most idenfitied with. This short video illustrates the words that students felt most represented RGS with kindness, aspiration and friendship coming to the forefront.
