Changing Lives of those whose potential is far greater than their financial means…

Thank you for your support to date
The initial campaign goal of raising £1 million by 2016 – to enable 20 Changing Lives bursary students to attend RGS – was achieved one year early. To date we have raised over £6m and we have supported 55 children since we launched the campaign in 2014.

Can you help us achieve our next target?
To celebrate the school’s 250th anniversary in 2025 we have set ourselves a target of having 50 fully funded Changing Lives bursary students in the school at any one time.

The gift of education, as provided by the 1675 Bursary Fund, aims to provide opportunities to transform lives and raise aspirations but our vision can only be realised through the help of our friends and supporters. Reigate Grammar School, unlike many other charitable institutions, does not have any major endowed funds to call upon. Currently, RGS offers financial support through means-tested bursaries to only a small percentage of the school population. The school receives a high demand for financial assistance each year. Sadly, we are unable to help a number of eligible children and if a network of support is not established RGS risks losing many gifted pupils.

We now look to our wider community and ask you to help RGS preserve its rich academic and philanthropic tradition by supporting the Changing Lives campaign.
