Originally founded in 1959 as Box Hill School by Roy McComish. Box Hill was a founding member of Round Square, reflecting a commitment to developing young people of character, compassion and capability. In June 2025 Box Hill School became RGS Surrey Hills and joined the Reigate Grammar School Group; the school continues to uphold an inclusive, nurturing and ambitious ethos. The current Headmistress is Hayley Robinson, and the campus features Dalewood House, designed in 1883 by Victorian architect John Norton. Five headteachers have led the school over the decades.
RGS Surrey Hills has a warm, inclusive, relationship‑focused and internationally minded community. Staff and students come from Surrey, across the UK and over 30 countries; this diversity enriches learning, broadens perspectives and prepares young people for a global future. As part of the wider RGS Group, the school enables collaboration and wider opportunities, underpinned by a tradition of excellence. The Round Square philosophy places leadership, service and global understanding at the heart of school life.
