I wanted to inform you of some changes to the Foundation team. I’m thrilled to announce that following the recent departure of Caroline Donald, we welcome Nikki Burch as our new Reigatian Community Officer. Meanwhile, at the start of this academic year, we were strengthened by the arrival of Catherine Hutchinson as Development Executive. They join a committed team with the exceptionally talented Jonny Hylton and Clare Adams.

We are here to engage and connect with our diverse Reigatian community through events, networks and various activities, whilst supporting the school with its social mobility focus as the charitable arm of RGS. We are here to support the Reigatian community and therefore we’re always keen to hear from you. To help you to understand who we are and what we do, please find some information below regarding the team. We are here to help you.
