Thought for the Week, from Rev. Jackson:

Recently I decided that it was time for me to start to grow my own veg in an attempt to live in a marginally more sustainable way. I’d love to say that it was a huge success… My harvest was a dozen beetroots—each one the size of a squash ball, and that’s an optimistic estimate! Dinner time that day wasn’t a feast!

Fortunately, we have farmers who are far more competent than I am when it comes to growing food for our supermarket shelves. And yet it can be so easy to take it for granted that those shelves will always be full. Recently there has been some news about how we may struggle a little with some food supplies this winter due to extreme weather and the government has advised us to make sure our cupboards are full. One possible reaction in this sort of situation is to panic and to run to the shops and bulk buy everything, very much as happened with toilet roll in Covid (remember that…?!).

But maybe there is a better way. The traditions of the Harvest celebrations that happen this time of year are all focussed on gratitude. Gratitude for the food on our shelves and our plates. Gratitude to the farmers who work so hard to provide for us. Gratitude to nature and the earth for giving us her fruit. And for those who believe, gratitude to God, from whom all things come. I think that this attitude of gratitude enables us to be grateful for everything we have, rather than immediately grumbling for what we don’t have or panicking for what we might not have! We of all peoples in the world are very unlikely to seriously go hungry, even if we can’t always get our avocados and asparagus every week!

So, this Harvest time, let’s pause and be grateful for everything we have. Even the teeny tiny beetroots!

Pasta salad, fresh scones and plenty of hands-on learning!
Our First Form students put their Food & Nutrition skills to the test in a practical workshop, preparing their own pasta salad and baking a batch of delicious scones.
A great opportunity to build confidence in the kitchen, learn new techniques and enjoy some well-earned treats at the end.

As part of our Inspiring Minds series, Upper Sixth students were captivated by award-winning photojournalist Rick Findler.

Through powerful photographs and first-hand accounts from some of the world's most challenging environments, Rick shared what it is really like to document events on the front line. From the practical realities of working in conflict zones to the split-second decisions required under intense pressure, his stories offered a fascinating insight into a profession few ever experience first-hand.

It was a thought-provoking exploration of journalism, resilience and the importance of understanding the stories behind the headlines.

Thank you, Rick for such an engaging and inspiring talk.

From Tatler School of the Year to a national finalist for Tatler's Best Eco-Warrior School award, we are delighted that Tatler has once again recognised Reigate Grammar School.

We have been chosen as one of just five national finalists in the Tatler Schools Awards 2027.

Our environmental initiatives have been primarily driven by pupil leadership, and this recognition celebrates young people who care deeply, think independently and turn their convictions into meaningful action, with the confidence to use their voices and the determination to create change.

We are proud that this latest recognition reflects what matters most at RGS: that young people can achieve highly, feel happy and well supported and develop the confidence to make a positive difference.

Old keys, River Thames treasures and optical illusions… plenty to spark curiosity and imagination!

To celebrate National Poetry Day, Second Form students joined artist Julie Mellor Patton for a hands-on poetry workshop exploring the theme of Wonder.

From investigating antique objects to exploring colour and reaching into mystery feely boxes, students were encouraged to slow down, look closely and discover new ways of seeing the world.

Each activity offered a starting point for poetry, showing how moments of wonder can be found in the most unexpected places and how an ordinary object can spark an extraordinary idea.

Thought for the Week, from Rev. Jackson:

I wonder if you are a fan of those great epic medieval battles. You know the ones with the courageous knights on horseback, spur in hand galloping towards each other! The iconic image is of course of these knights in their suits of shining armour; the sunlight glinting off them, visors down and ready to face anything. If you have been to a historic castle or somewhere that you can see or even try on suits of armour, you will know that whilst they were incredibly effective at protecting the knight from various sharp weapons, they did also make it a bit tricky to move very easily!

I sometimes feel that we can be a bit like those knights within our relationships. We can be so worried about being hurt by others that we try and protect ourselves by putting metaphorical armour on. This might be putting on a ‘brave face’ or pretending to be people we are not to please those around us. Sometimes we might feel we need this protection and that is natural at times, but the problem is that it can stop us from really truly knowing one another and connecting with one another. Have you ever tried to give a hug to someone in a suit of armour? It is impossible!! The very thing that aims to protect us also stops us from growing in our relationships.

It is so important that we have people that we can be vulnerable with. Friends and family who we can be real with about our struggles and who we really are. Often the only way we can grow in our relationships with others is by taking off our metaphorical armour and having that honest conversation. So, perhaps a challenge for us this week is to choose a friend or family member that we trust and share something with them that we usually keep hidden under our armour. In allowing ourselves to be vulnerable we can also give permission for others to do the same, and that can be a huge gift. The author Brené Brown puts it like this, ‘We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known…’ Sometimes it requires even more courage to take off the armour than to put it on—let’s take a risk this week and let ourselves be known.
