Post 16 Opportunities

We have partnered with two outstanding organisations who work with our students all through Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 so our students become familiar with the opportunities available to them when they complete Year 11.

Reigate College and East Surrey College provide students with the widest possible range of courses, taught by subject specialists. This means that every student is able to find the perfect combination of subjects and support for them to succeed.

The Priory School students are guaranteed a place at either college, provided they meet the minimum entry requirements and have an excellent school report.

Reigate College

Reigate College, situated in Reigate town centre, offers around 50 A Level or equivalent courses. With excellent results, outstanding programmes for Oxbridge and MVD (Medics, Vets and Dentists), together with around 70 extra-curricular clubs and activities, including competitive sports teams, performing arts groups and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award, the College is a brilliant stepping-stone between school and university or apprenticeships and work.

Students at The Priory School are offered a guaranteed place at Reigate College if they meet the College’s entry requirements (of five GCSE passes at Grade 4 or above) and their school reports and reference demonstrate excellent effort, attendance and punctuality.  All prospective students also need to meet the minimum entry qualifications for the specific courses they would like to study.​  See website for details.
