Reigate College - the official sixth form of four Partner Schools
Reigate College, graded 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, is the offical sixth form of de Stafford, Oakwood, Reigate and Warwick schools.
This means that Year 11 students applying from one of these schools, will automatically be awarded a place at the College if they meet the College’s entry requirements (minimum 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above and a satisfactory school reference).
Applying from a Partner School
Year 11 students at Reigate, Warwick, de Stafford and Oakwood schools DO NOT NEED TO REQUEST A PROSPECTUS OR APPLICATION FORM as these will be given to them via their school.

Gifted & Talented Events
Year 8 and 9s
For the last few years, the College has run three 'Gifted & Talented' sessions for Year 8 and 9 pupils, per year, for the College's partner schools. These sessions give pupils the chance to be ‘stretched and challenged’ in both familiar curriculum areas such as Maths and Science and in subjects that may be new to them, such as Psychology and Economics.
As well as 'trying out' what it might be like to be a College student, the sessions also give students the chance to learn about a specific subject at an 'A Level' standard, which in turn encourages students to think about the subjects they might want to study from Year 12.
Year 8 and 9 ‘G&T’ events usually take place after school in the Autumn and Spring Terms and during a morning session in ‘school time’ during the Summer Term.
Year 11s
The College also offers workshops for Year 11s who have already applied to do specific subjects at the College. For example, in October 2017 the College ran a successful 'Spotlight on Performing Arts' afternoon for performing arts students who'd applied to do at least one BTEC Performing Arts course (Acting, Musical Theatre, Dance or Music).
