Royal Alexandra and Albert
The Royal Alexandra and Albert School is a non-selective state boarding school for boys and girls aged 7-18. The school is set in 260 acres of picturesque parkland in Gatton Park, Reigate. Our large site allows us to have extensive facilities, including floodlit all-weather sports pitches, a state-of-the-art Fitness Centre, indoor swimming pool and Equestrian Centre. With 470 boarders and 635 Flexi Boarders, there is a lively community with a significant number of boarders staying at the weekends. All pupils participate in the School's extensive co-curricular programme which offers over 140 activities and clubs every term. In the summer of 2019, 80% of GCSEs were graded 4-9, with 78% of pupils achieving a good pass in English and Maths. Overall, 20% of all GCSEs were graded A or A*. Progress 8 data also places the Royal Alexandra and Albert School in the top 8% of schools for value added, with a score of +0.43. The combination of strong academic results and outstanding pastoral care saw the Royal Alexandra and Albert School became the most sought-after secondary school in Surrey, according to official Department of Education data. The School's last Ofsted boarding inspection in March 2018 deemed it to be an 'Outstanding' boarding school. Ofsted's report mentioned that 'the school provides a secure environment in which children and young people flourish, achieve academically, stretch their abilities and develop social skills' and that 'staff have been remarkably successful in improving the life experience of children and young people, and in expanding their future life chances'.
