For 350 years, Reigate Grammar School has been a place of opportunity, transforming lives through the generosity of our community. This year, as we celebrate this incredible milestone, we are inviting Reigatians everywhere to come together for something truly special - our 350 Giving Day.

From 8.00 am on Monday 16 June, to 8.00 pm on Tuesday 17 June, we have just 36 hours to reach our ambitious goal:

• 3,500 donations of any kind
• All proceeds support our Changing Lives, Building Futures campaign

Our Goal: Doubling Opportunity

When we launched our Changing Lives, Building Futures campaign in 2023, 15% of RGS students were receiving bursary support. Over the next decade, we aim to double this to 30% - ensuring more children, regardless of background, can access an outstanding education.

Inspired by Henry Smith, whose generosity founded RGS 350 years ago, Giving Day isn’t just about raising funds - it’s about broadening our impact. Students will also be donating essential items to local charities - Loveworks and Stripey Stork, supporting families in and around Reigate.

Get Involved – Big or Small, Every Gift Counts

Giving Day is an online fundraising challenge, and throughout the 36 hours, we’ll share video stories, updates and exciting challenges to keep the momentum going. And if we hit our target? The Headmaster has promised to take on a secret forfeit!

This Giving Day, we need Reigatians everywhere to support where they can. Students, parents, staff - past and present - whether you can give £3.50 or £3,500, every donation matters.

Want to make an even bigger impact? Pledge a Giving Day Challenge!

• Double Donations – Match every pound donated up to your chosen amount.
• Participation Challenges – Unlock a gift if a certain number of people donate.
• Time Challenges – Offer match funding for an hour to boost giving.

Your challenge could inspire hundreds of others to get involved! Contact the RGS Foundation team at foundation@reigategrammar.org if you'd like to set up a challenge gift.

This is our moment for the Reigatian family to come together to show the power of the Reigatian spirit and to make our mark in our 350th year. Thank you.
