In advance of any entrance examination or interview, we will always ask each candidate’s current school for a written report. It is therefore important that parents inform their child’s current school that they have lodged an application with us.

Gershon Scholars – Sixth Form bursaries for Science and Mathematics

Reigate Grammar School offers a bursary (fees assistance) scheme that gives significant opportunities to 16 to 18 year olds wishing to pursue a career in science, mathematics or engineering at university and beyond. This programme follows a generous commitment by former Reigate Grammar pupil and Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering Sir Peter Gershon, whose career and dedication to science and mathematics took him from the classrooms of Reigate Grammar School, through Cambridge University and on to the boardrooms of global industry.

Students applying to become a Gershon Scholar could benefit from significant financial assistance with fees in addition to mentoring and networking support. The bursaries are available for new and existing students joining the Sixth Form at Reigate Grammar School. Support will come from the RGS Foundation’s 1675 Bursary Fund which supports families who would not otherwise be able to afford fees at an independent school.
