Welcome from the Heads of Schools
Welcome to Reigate Grammar School Riyadh – Senior School, Ghirnatah Campus
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Secondary School at Reigate Grammar School Riyadh, Ghirnatah Campus. The school is home to a dynamic and diverse community where students, families and educators come together with a shared commitment to excellence, kindness and integrity. As Head of School, I’m proud to support a team that nurtures an environment where every young person is empowered to grow, contribute and thrive.
Reigate Grammar School Riyadh (RGSR) is part of a proud international family of schools anchored by Reigate Grammar School in the UK, one of Britain’s most prestigious independent schools and named The Sunday Times School of the Year 2025. At our Riyadh campus, we build on this heritage while also shaping something distinctive: an educational experience that is globally ambitious, locally rooted and authentically student-centred.
Our secondary school is a vibrant and growing community where students aged 11 to 18 are empowered to excel both academically and personally. We deliver a rigorous, well-rounded British curriculum leading to IGCSE and A-Level qualifications (Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel), while working towards IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) accreditation, set to launch in 2026, to broaden post-16 pathways. Alongside this, we focus on developing future-ready skills through innovative technologies, interdisciplinary learning, and a rich programme of personal growth and leadership opportunities.
But more than any specific curriculum, what defines us is our culture. We are a school where students are known, cared for, and challenged to become the best versions of themselves. We prioritise wellbeing, celebrate individuality, promote resilience and support each child to grow in confidence and character. Our students are not just taught; they are nurtured, listened to and equipped to make a meaningful difference in the world.
We believe in empowering both staff and community. Our teachers benefit from high-quality professional development and play an active role in shaping the school’s direction. Parents are valued partners whose voices inform our growth and help us better serve our students. Our priorities – excellence, innovation, leadership, and inclusivity – shape every decision, with the student experience at the heart of all we do.
I warmly invite you to explore our school; whether as a prospective family, teacher or partner. You will find a warm, purposeful and inclusive environment where the highest academic standards meet a deep culture of care.
We look forward to welcoming you to our community.
Warm regards,
Atthar Malik

Welcome to Reigate Grammar School Riyadh – Prep School, Qurtubah Campus
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Reigate Grammar School Riyadh’s Prep School, proudly situated on our Qurtubah Campus. Our school is home to a truly special international community where families and educators from all over the world come together to create an environment of warmth, ambition, and shared purpose.
Reigate Grammar School Riyadh builds on the rich heritage of our sister school, Reigate Grammar School UK (The Sunday Times School of the Year 2025), while proudly embracing the vibrancy and opportunity of our Riyadh context. We do not seek to transplant a 350-year-old British school, but rather to translate the very best of that tradition—its values, academic rigour, and pastoral heart—into something new, dynamic, and relevant for our families here in the Kingdom.
At the heart of our school is a deep commitment to pastoral care. Every child who walks through our doors is seen, known, and valued. We do not ask children to fit into a box; instead, we meet them where they are, celebrate who they are, and support them as they grow into the best versions of themselves. At RGS Riyadh, our children do not simply “fit in” to school—they belong.
Academically, we uphold the highest standards of British education, delivered with passion, creativity, and ambition. But just as importantly, we create space for children to explore, inquire, and develop a lifelong love of learning. Our pupils are not only learners, they’re explorers, collaborators, and global citizens. Through a well-rounded education, enriched by co-curricular opportunities and global perspectives, we prepare our children not just for senior school, but for life.
I warmly invite you to visit our Qurtubah Campus, meet our wonderful staff and students, and experience first-hand the vibrant, inclusive, and happy environment that has flourished here. Whether you are a prospective parent, pupil, or member of staff, you will find a school community that is grounded in tradition, shaped by purpose, and excited by the future.
We look forward to welcoming you to RGS Riyadh Prep School.
Very best wishes,
Stephen Deady
Head of Prep School
