Impact Statement

Community Partnerships and Social Responsibility
At RGS Surrey Hills, we believe education extends far beyond the classroom. Through service, partnership and charitable giving, our students develop compassion, leadership and a genuine understanding of the positive impact they can have on others.

Supporting local communities is woven into school life. Throughout the year, pupils work alongside local schools, charities, community organisations and sports clubs, giving their time, skills and enthusiasm to make a meaningful difference.

One of the highlights of the school calendar is MAD (Making A Difference) Week, when the entire school community comes together to support a wide range of local, national and international charities. Through fundraising, volunteering and community projects, students demonstrate creativity, teamwork and a strong sense of social responsibility while supporting causes that matter to them.

Our commitment to partnership also extends beyond our own community. Local primary and prep schools are regularly invited to take part in curriculum enrichment activities hosted by RGS Surrey Hills, including science workshops, mathematics challenges, drama productions, music events, history experiences and sports coaching delivered by our specialist staff.

We are proud to share our outstanding facilities with the wider community. Local football and cricket clubs regularly use our grounds, county cricket fixtures have been hosted on campus, and our sports and educational facilities are made available to a variety of community organisations throughout the year.

Service is also an important element of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, where students undertake meaningful community engagement as part of their Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) programme. Opportunities include supporting local primary schools, volunteering with charities, mentoring younger children, environmental initiatives and contributing to community events both locally and internationally.

Whether through fundraising, volunteering, mentoring or community partnerships, RGS Surrey Hills encourages every student to recognise that success is measured not only by academic achievement, but also by the contribution they make to the lives of others.
