Why Move to Reigate?
A prosperous and historical location, Reigate is one of Surrey’s more celebrated towns which sits very conveniently in the centre of the county.
Named one of the Best Places to Live in the UK by the Sunday Times in 2019, Reigate was described as ‘arty, sporty and packed with places to eat, a reassuringly affluent town just 40 minutes from Victoria.’
Reigate sits amid a romantic landscape right on the edge of the North Downs, nature is never far away.
In fact, the town has the feel of a rural village about it rather than the busy urban hub it really is. Packed with history, the town was given to a Norman baron after the Battle of Hastings.
The Normans built a castle here and later, in the 13th century, the canons of the Order of St Augustine established a priory located to the south of the town.
People are drawn to the town from the surrounding area enticed by Reigate’s great array of shops, and its safe pedestrianised high street, lined with a great choice of stores.
A collection of little boutique shops sits down Reigate’s little alleyways and lanes making it a pleasant place to browse.
Reigate Schools & Education
An ever increasingly popular reason for people to move is to live in the catchment area of a good school.
This trend is being repeated up and down the country making competition for school places incredibly fierce at times. Thankfully Reigate is blessed with great schools for all ages.
Younger children aged 4-11 years can attend either primary, junior, or middle schools in Reigate.
Most schools have been rated as “good” by Ofsted with Reigate Parish Church Primary School and Reigate Priory Community Junior School having been awarded the highest rating of “outstanding”.
The most in-demand state secondary is St Bede’s School. Teaching students from 11-18 years. A large co-ed school, it has over 1700 male and female pupils with around 330 students in the sixth form.

The College holds the Investor in Careers Award – a quality standard for the management of careers education and guidance (CEG) in schools and FE colleges.

Known to be Britain’s oldest show cave, Baron’s cave is a key feature of the Reigate castle. There have been many ideas put forward to explain why the cave was dug and to this day it is still a mystery.
