At Reigate Grammar School, Sixth Form students are supported to shape a learning journey that reflects their strengths, interests, and ambitions. Our curriculum is not only academically rigorous but also purposefully designed to be broad, flexible, and future-focused preparing students for university, degree apprenticeships, and the world beyond. 

A flexible, enriching education – built around you

Tailored Pathways and Support

Unlike many schools, we don’t start with a fixed timetable or a rigid set of subject blocks. Each year, we build our Sixth Form programme around our students designing a bespoke timetable that maximises choice and opportunity. Most students take three A Levels, but we also support a variety of pathways including BTECs, EPQ, and tailored 4 A Level combinations for those with specific goals in mind, such as Engineering or Natural Sciences at Oxford or Cambridge. 

Alongside subject teaching, students benefit from small class sizes, expert teachers, and a personalised academic programme. Our approach combines high standards with high levels of care, helping students balance challenge with confidence. 

Our Sixth Form Programmes

Academic Clubs & Societies 

Learning at RGS extends well beyond the curriculum. Sixth Formers lead and participate in a huge range of student-run clubs and societies that nurture curiosity, debate, and independent thought. 

Open to all, regardless of A Level subject choices, these societies host speakers, run events, and connect students with university-level discussion and insight. 

  • TSI Friday (Thank Science It’s Friday)
  • Senior MUN (Model United Nations)
  • The Academy (theology & philosophy discussion group)
  • Medical Discussion Group
  • History & Politics Society
  • Senior Geography Society
  • Economics Society
  • A Novel Approach (Literary analysis and debate)

It’s exciting to have space to explore big ideas whether you want to debate foreign policy, discuss ethics or just explore something outside your subject.

Designed to set you up for life 

Whether your destination is Oxford, an elite degree apprenticeship, or a career in a creative field, your academic experience at RGS will be tailored, supported, and forward-thinking. 

We take academics seriously but we also know that results mean more when they come from joy, purpose, and a love of learning.
