Welcome from the Heads of Schools

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

Welcome to Reigate Grammar School Riyadh – Senior School, Ghirnatah Campus

Thank you for your interest in Reigate Grammar School Riyadh’s Senior School. We know how important it is for families to find a school where young people are not only challenged academically, but also known, supported and encouraged to grow in confidence, character and ambition within a safe and secure environment.

At our Senior School, we are committed to providing an excellent education every day. We combine high academic expectations with outstanding pastoral care and a wide range of opportunities beyond the classroom, so that students achieve excellent outcomes while also developing the wider qualities that will help them flourish at leading universities and in life beyond school.

As part of the wider Reigate Grammar School Riyadh community, our students benefit from an educational journey that is as seamless as possible from Prep School through to Senior School. The strong foundations established at our Prep School in Qurtabah help ensure that students arrive at the Senior School ready to embrace challenge, deepen their learning and continue to grow as thoughtful, capable and well-rounded young people.

We offer an authentic Reigate education, thoughtfully adapted for the Riyadh context and aligned with the aspirations of Saudi Vision 2030. Above all, ours is a school community built on strong relationships, high expectations and genuine care, where students feel valued, challenged and inspired to fulfil their potential.

Whether you are considering the school as a parent, prospective student or colleague, I hope this introduction gives you a sense of what makes Reigate Grammar School Riyadh such a distinctive place to learn and work. I look forward to welcoming you to our Senior School community and to sharing more about the opportunities, experiences and relationships that make it such a rewarding place to be.
