I need to share a warning for parents considering Reigate St Mary’s. The school knows very early on which children they think will get into Reigate Grammar. Those they believe will thrive get all the attention, while others are sidelined. After years of trust and fees, we were left in the dark until it was too late. This system is unfair and emotionally damaging. Ask direct questions early, because it’s not a level playing
The emotional impact on children in this situation should not be underestimated. At 10 years old they do not understand admissions systems or testing criteria. They only understand that their friends are moving on together while they are not.
