A New Era for St Christopher’s School and Nursery!
St Christopher’s is delighted to announce we will be joining Reigate Grammar School Group (RGS) from May 2025.
This is a truly exciting merger and brings numerous benefits that will come with being part of a successful group of local independent schools. St Christopher’s School will continue to run with significant educational independence – in particular – will continue to ensure every St Christopher’s child is well-prepared for the next step in their educational journey when they leave at Year 2 to progress to the junior school that is right for them, as it does today.
St Christopher’s joins RGS, Reigate St Mary’s, Chinthurst School and Micklefield and a network of schools internationally, which together form the multi award winning RGS Group. The group has an exceptional reputation both locally and nationally and the individual schools within it, including St Christopher’s, were rated “Excellent” in their ISI inspections in 2023 reflecting a shared focus on excellence in all areas of education.
Mrs Grehan, Headteacher of St Christopher’s School and Nursery, said, “We are delighted to announce this new partnership that will strengthen and preserve the unique character of St Christopher’s exceptional provision. This collaboration is built on a shared commitment to excellence – enriching teaching, expanding curriculum opportunities, and enhancing pastoral care. Far more than a simple merger, this is a dynamic union, united by a deep-rooted belief that education extends beyond academic success.”
Mr Fenton, Headteacher of RGS, said, “Joining together with the RGS family of schools will empower St Christopher’s to reach new heights of excellence through dynamic professional collaboration. As an outstanding school and nursery, St Christopher’s will continue to flourish with the support of this partnership, creating lasting benefits for pupils now and for generations to come. This inspiring collaboration is driven by shared values, a bold vision, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.”
