RGS Prep

Guildford, Surrey, South East · GU1 2EL

A small boys' preparatory school in Guildford, RGS Prep has educated its pupils since 1930 and retains a Church of England character. With around 340 boys on roll, it offers an intimate setting where staff are likely to know each child well. The school prepares boys for entry at 11+ and is inspected by the ISI. A phones-off-site policy, with handsets surrendered to the office when permission is granted, signals a deliberate focus on attentive, distraction-free learning.
