Micklefield and Chinthurst Schools, Reigate

We're moving to Reigate soon and I'm currently looking at options for moving schools for our boys. The only schools with places at the moment are Chinthurst and Micklefield so looks like these are our options, but we can't go look round at the moment due to covid, so I was just wondering if anyone had opinions on either please? Both my boys are fairly academic and also both quite sporty so more interested in these aspects than the arts I suppose. We initially would have preferred one of the schools in town over to driving every day, but as St Mary's and all the state schools are full, I am still considering Chinthurst because of the automatic links to Reigate Grammar. Still Micklefield does win points due to its location so I'm being open minded. I'd really like to know a bit more about whether many Chinthurst kids come from Reigate or whether most of them live up the hill as I"m sure my boys would like to live near their friends now they're getting older. Any opinions on both school, good and bad would be much appreciated - please do PM me if you'd rather not post on here. Thanks

Hi, I have 2 boys at Chinthurst and we are very happy with the school. Seems to have a good balance between academics with lots of sport and other things and my kids are very happy and doing so well. Both my children have friends who live Reigate/Redhill and obviously lots go on to Reigate Grammar.

Thanks @whatiknow2015 Do you live in Reigate? I'd like to know what the drive up the hill is like in the mornings!

Hi there, would love to know which school you chose in the end. We live in Merstham and have been offered a place at Chinthurst for my daughter for Year 3 in September but want to do final checks before we sign on the dotted line. Thanks!
