In Brief
If you want a British curriculum school with a genuine track record - the exam results are published, the BSO inspection is Outstanding, and the learning support is reputedly among the best in Riyadh - RGSR is a credible alternative to BISR at a meaningfully lower price point.
RGSR is newer than its name implies - behind the Reigate brand is the Multinational School, which has been on this site since 1998 and built a reputation among Antipodean and Canadian families for strong academics and better-than-average SEND support. The rebrand in 2022 brought UK quality assurance links and an all-through structure from Nursery to Year 13, now split across two campuses: primary at Qurtobah and secondary at Ghirnatah.
The 2024-25 results are the best argument for the school: 96% A-Level A*-C and 97% IGCSE A*-C. The BSO inspection in 2025 rated premises and accommodation as high quality. The school is COBIS and BSME accredited. Learning support is a genuine differentiator: the provision includes EAL support, speech therapy, and full-time learning assistants - described as one of the most comprehensive SEND programmes available in the region.
One negative review (October 2025) described unprofessional teacher behaviour and poor administration handling of bullying; the positive reviews significantly outnumber it. Career counselling for junior secondary students has been flagged by parents as underdeveloped. External exam fees (IGCSE, A-Level) are billed separately at approximately SAR 6,000 per session.
What parents value
- –Published exam results with record A-Level performance in 2024-25 (96% A*-C) and IGCSE at 97% A*-C. BSO Outstanding inspection for premises and facilities (2025).
- –Genuinely comprehensive SEND and EAL provision, including speech therapy and full-time learning assistants.
- –Sibling discounts (5% second child, 10% third, 15% fourth-plus) make multi-child families significantly cheaper than at BISR.
Points of consideration
- –Two-campus model means different sites for different ages - commute logistics depend on where you live relative to Ghirnatah (secondary) and Qurtobah (primary).
- –External exam fees are not included in tuition - budget approximately SAR 6,000 per Year 11 and Year 12/13 student per session.
- –Career counselling for younger secondary students has been raised as needing more depth; worth asking at admissions.
