Reigate School is a state secondary school in the town of Reigate, Surrey, England, for students from the ages of 11 through to 16. The current headteacher of the school is Mrs Susan Wardlow. She points out that the school has "high expectations of [its] students and strive to ensure that every child achieves academically, socially and personally. We will provide your child with a balanced curriculum, a happy, stimulating environment and opportunities in abundance."
During the 2012 Ofsted inspections of 2012/2013, Reigate School was ranked an 'Outstanding School'. The Ofsted report stated: "Reigate is an outstanding school where students make exceptional progress to reach very high standards from average starting points."
Reigate School's central location in the centre of Reigate and Redhill, Surrey, makes it ideal for many students, and the school has a catchment area of about 2.5 km. The nearest state-owned secondary schools to it include The Warwick School, Redhill and Oakwood School, Horley, and is in a partnership with these two schools and 6 other schools known as the Warwick partnership, which allows teachers to train at all these various schools. The school is also a feeder school into Reigate College, a very popular Sixth Form college in Reigate, Surrey, which makes it very popular with parents living nearby.
Reigate School offers a wide choice of GCSEs for students to select from. Students study all subjects from Years 7-8, and where in Year 9 this would have continued, the school is now changing the system so students pick their options in Year 8 and study their selected subjects from Year 9 onwards. The school's core subjects which all students must study, as well as the exam boards used, include:
From 2016, Students will also be made to study one language, from either French or Spanish. All students are encouraged to study via the EBACC route, however, this is not compulsory. Other option subjects offered include:
On top of all the listed subjects, Students also have the choice to take additional GCSEs, such as Astronomy or Media Studies after School. Although this will require them to stay in school additional time every week, it allows students to learn new skills, and could help them make better career choices in the future. Students who are fluent in another foreign language not offered at the school such as Hindi, German or Mandarin may also take the GCSE in that subject if they are ready to give up some free time, however it is well worth it for students who do. Overall, the average student will end up with 11 GCSE certificates by the time they finish school.
