Summary

Chinthurst was founded in 1908 and moved to its current site between the villages of Walton on the Hill and Tadworth, a few years later. Although it was originally for all-girls, the school has educated both boys and girls individually over the years and became fully coeducational in 2011. The school buildings are set around large central playing fields and facilities include playgrounds, an indoor heated swimming pool, a multi-purpose court for tennis and netball and impressive dedicated drama, art and science studios. In February 2017, Chinthurst became a junior school of Reigate Grammar School (RGS), a multi award winning senior school, ranked best co-educational day school in the southeast by the Sunday Times 2024 Parent Power league tables.
