WELCOME Welcome to Reigate Grammar School’s Annual Open Morning which is packed full of talks, activities, competitions and cake!

Please have a good look around and ask me, staff and students any questions you may have. Do join us after your tour at our Hartswood Sports Ground to enjoy live matches and complimentary bacon sandwiches, pastries and coffee.

There is no better way to get to know a school than by visiting it; I hope you enjoy your morning here and go away with a sense of what it means to be a Reigatian.

DRAMA: In Drama Studio 1 and around the school, GCSE students will be rehearsing for upcoming Devised Exams - producing original, creative performances in a range of styles. In Studio 2 see rehearsals for this year’s Christmas production - Les Misérables.

ENGLISH: We want you to tell us about your favourite writers, your favourite books and to leave us with a memento of your favourite word. We’re looking for the most mellifluous, idiosyncratic and adroit examples!

FOOD AND NUTRITION: Students will showcase their GCSE practical skills with delicious culinary creations.

Shaun Fenton, Headmaster
