Chelsea FC Partners with Reigate Grammar School and RGS Surrey Hills
A New Era for School Sport: Chelsea FC Partners with Reigate Grammar School and RGS Surrey Hills.
Reigate Grammar School and RGS Surrey Hills have teamed up with Club World Cup Champions Chelsea FC in a landmark partnership that will deliver world-class coaching, leadership development and unique access to Chelsea's facilities and resources.
Made possible by the recent merger, RGS and RGS Surrey Hills will be the only Chelsea flagship schools in the South East, a first for the region and a major moment for school sport.
Shaun Fenton, Headmaster of Reigate Grammar School and Executive Head of the RGS Group, said:
'This partnership with Chelsea FC is about far more than football. It’s about helping young people find confidence, develop leadership and character, and unlock their potential. It’s the next bold step in our investment in sport, wellbeing, and opportunity across the RGS Group.'
Hayley Robinson, Headmistress at RGS Surrey Hills, continued '
The partnership with Chelsea FC represents everything we stand for at RGS Surrey Hills: opportunity, collaboration and aspiration without limits. I'm so proud of what this means for our pupils and our school'.
The initiative is open to all abilities, boys and girls, beginners and advanced players alike, with Chelsea FC coaches leading weekly sessions at both schools. Students will also enjoy masterclasses at Cobham, visits to Stamford Bridge, and learning drawn from Chelsea’s professional football curriculum.
Part of the RGS Group’s £20 million investment in sport, this partnership embodies the schools’ ethos of Sport for All and Developing Great People Through Sport, where every young person can play, lead, and thrive.
