Overview

Reigate Grammar School Kuala Lumpur (RGSKL) is an international school in Kajang, Malaysia. Founded in 2025, it has approximately 420 students. Taught in English. Annual tuition: MYR 42,500–MYR 94,500.

Reigate Grammar School Kuala Lumpur (RGSKL) is a private British international school in Kajang 2, Selangor, serving students aged 3 to 18. It offers a continuous educational pathway from EYFS through the English National Curriculum to IGCSE and A Levels, with both day and boarding provision. The school opened in August 2025 through a partnership between RGS International and Beaconhouse Group, following an initial merger with Newlands School and a rebrand. Academic study, sport, performing arts, technology, and pastoral care are core pillars, supported by a house system and a full-time qualified nurse on site. With over 420 students and five co-curricular areas, RGSKL positions itself as a world-class institution combining British curriculum rigour with the cultural richness of Malaysia.

Schoozy Intelligence

Our own read of this school, drawn from public sources and kept separate from the school's own material.

A 2025-opened Klang Valley campus of England's Reigate Grammar School, teaching a British curriculum from early years to A-Levels with developing boarding.

Reigate Grammar School Kuala Lumpur opened in August 2025 in Kajang 2, Selangor, as part of RGS International in partnership with Beaconhouse Group, following a merger with the former Newlands School. It teaches over 400 students across 28 nationalities (ages 3–18) on a British pathway from EYFS through IGCSE to A-Levels, and published its first GCSE and AS results in 2026. Day places operate now; the school says a purpose-built boarding house for up to 200 students is planned for 2027, with temporary residential accommodation in the interim.

An editorial summary of the sections below — not a rating or ranking.

Best for
Families in the Klang Valley wanting a continuous English-system education (EYFS to A-Levels) under an established UK-school brand, who are comfortable being early joiners at a school without an independent track record, and for whom Year 10 IGCSE-entry timing and a developing boarding option fit their plans.
Things to consider
The campus opened in 2025 and has no independent ranking, inspection grade or university-destinations history specific to Kuala Lumpur; results so far are self-published without cohort sizes. Boarding is in temporary accommodation until a planned 2027 facility, and boarding fees are quoted on request. The site is in Kajang 2 rather than central KL, served by five paid bus routes whose fees are not published. Families targeting IGCSEs should confirm Year 10 entry timing directly with admissions.

The timetable is organised around subject specialist teaching and option-block electives, with interdisciplinary projects folded into subjects rather than run as a separate inquiry programme.

Students move through a staged external examination pathway, from IGCSE-informing assessment in the lower secondary years to A-Levels in Sixth Form, without published detail on daily prep or supervised study.
Student choice
Guided choice

Students choose subjects from defined option blocks at both IGCSE and A-Level stages, but no published mechanism shows timetabled self-directed study or student-run initiatives.

A wider bar means the published evidence narrows the position to a range rather than a point.

Schoozy Intelligence — Deep Dive

The full read on each topic, with the sources behind it. Open only what you need.

Opened 2025, no independent ranking yet

As a school that opened in 2025, RGSKL has no independent ranking or inspection grade specific to the Kuala Lumpur campus in the sources reviewed.

Read analysis

What the evidence shows

According to the International Schools Database directory, no independent school ranking, inspection grade, or established external reputation assessment specific to the Kuala Lumpur campus was identified in the sources searched. On this reading, the campus opened only in 2025 and has not yet accumulated an independent external track record.

The directory also notes that the Sunday Times recognition the school cites concerns the UK flagship school, not the Kuala Lumpur campus. Families should treat UK-based reputation as belonging to the founding school rather than as an assessment of RGSKL itself.

Age-based assessment, CAT4 and interviews, no acceptance rate published

The school describes an age-specific assessment process but publishes no acceptance rate or application volume. This section rests on the school's own material and one undated directory.

Read analysis

The school's stated process

On the school's own How to Apply page, RGSKL does not publish an acceptance rate or annual application volume. It states that its process uses age-specific assessment, including CAT4 from Year 2 onward and an interview with the Head of School or Deputy Head of School from Year 7 onward, and that applicants may be waitlisted when no place is available.

Because this comes from the school describing itself, it indicates the intended procedure rather than an independently verified picture of how selective entry is in practice.

A directory signal

The Doris directory states that prospective students attend a trial class followed by an age-appropriate assessment and/or admission interview. This entry does not identify its underlying evidence or carry a publication date, so it is a directory signal rather than independent confirmation of current admissions practice.

Over 400 students, 28 nationalities, ages 3–18

Published figures describe a growing day-and-boarding school of over 400 students across 28 nationalities, but no local/international percentage breakdown is published.

Read analysis

Size and composition

RGS International states that RGSKL had grown to over 420 students and is a day-and-boarding school serving ages 3 to 18. It does not publish nationality counts or local versus international student percentages.

Malay Mail reported on 22 November 2025 that the school then educated over 400 students representing 28 nationalities. Beyond the nationality count, no official breakdown of the student community is available.

First GCSE and AS results published, no destinations data

The school has published early examination results but no university destinations, matriculation, or graduating-cohort figures. All figures come from the school itself.

Read analysis

What has been published

On its own results page, RGSKL published 2026 GCSE results covering 253 examinations, along with its first AS results. No named university destination list, university count, matriculation statistic, offer statistic, or graduating-cohort size was located.

Because the school opened recently and these figures are self-published, outcomes should be read as an early snapshot rather than an established multi-year record. No independent verification of results or destinations was available.

Opened August 2025, first AS results, boarding planned for 2027

The school opened in August 2025 following a merger and rebrand, published its first AS results in 2026, and states a new boarding house is planned for 2027.

Read analysis

Origins and expansion

RGS International states that the Kuala Lumpur school opened in August 2025 after an initial merger with Newlands School and a subsequent rebrand, and that a new boarding house is in planning for September 2027.

First AS results

The school published its first AS Level results in 2026, reporting 100% A–B in Further Mathematics and Chemistry, 91% A in Mathematics, 67% A grades in Psychology, and 75% A–B in Biology. These figures are published by the school and were not independently verified in the sources reviewed.

Year 10 IGCSE entry, Kajang 2 location, boarding not yet permanent

Three practical planning points drawn from the school's own pages: fixed IGCSE entry timing, a Kajang 2 location with paid bus routes, and boarding that is temporary until a 2027 facility opens.

Read analysis

IGCSE entry timing

Families seeking entry specifically for the two-year IGCSE programme need to plan for Year 10 entry. The school states that joining later does not allow the course to be completed.

Location and transport

The campus is in Kajang 2 rather than central Kuala Lumpur. The school runs five bus routes and estimates a 40-minute transfer to KLIA, but bus fees are charged separately and are not published, so families should ask for these costs directly.

Boarding status

Permanent boarding is not yet operating. The school says it currently uses selected temporary residential accommodation and plans a purpose-built facility for up to 200 students in 2027. Boarding fees are available on request. Families needing settled boarding now should confirm current arrangements before committing.

History

Reigate Grammar School in Surrey, England was founded in 1675 by Alderman Henry Smith. RGSKL was established as part of its international development through a long-term partnership with Beaconhouse Group in the Kajang area of Malaysia. Following an initial merger with Newlands School and a subsequent rebrand, the school opened on a redeveloped campus in August 2025. In 2026 it published its first GCSE and AS Level results — covering 253 examinations at GCSE level — and a permanent purpose-built boarding house for up to 200 students is planned for opening in 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a deadline to apply, or can I apply at any time of year?

RGSKL accepts applications on a rolling basis throughout the year for all year groups from Nursery to Year 13, with no single annual deadline. Places are offered as they become available, and when a year group is full, applicants are placed on a waiting list.

Is there an application fee, and is it refundable?

Yes, there is a non-refundable, non-transferable application fee of RM1,500 payable at the time of application. This is separate from the RM8,000 enrolment fee that is charged after a place is accepted.

Is there a sibling discount if I enrol more than one child?

Yes, a sibling discount is available for families with two or more children enrolled simultaneously across Beaconhouse Group schools in the same academic year. The exact discount rate is not published, so families should contact the school directly for details.

How does RGSKL's reputation relate to the original Reigate Grammar School in the UK?

RGSKL is affiliated with the UK school founded in 1675, which has been recognised by the Sunday Times as an independent school of the year. However, that recognition applies to the UK flagship, not the Kuala Lumpur campus, which opened in 2025 and does not yet have its own independent inspection grade or ranking.

How many co-curricular activities are available, and what kinds are on offer?

The school offers 100+ co-curricular activities in Primary and 115+ in Secondary each term, spanning sport, arts, STEM, and service. Confirmed activities include robotics, drone flying, filmmaking, fencing, rock climbing, taekwondo, orchestra, Model United Nations, debating, and Explorer Scouts, among others.

How is the school organised for pastoral care, and what does the house system look like?

RGSKL uses a four-house system named Tuah, Jebat, Kasturi, and Lekir, drawing on Malaysian maritime heritage. Every student is assigned to a house on joining and has a Form Tutor as their primary pastoral contact, with daily form time each morning to ensure consistent check-ins.

What support is available for students with additional learning needs?

RGSKL has a Head of Learning Support who leads targeted support, Individual Education Plans, and referrals to external specialists including Oasis Place. EAL support is also available from Year 2 onwards at an additional fee of RM4,500 per term.

What sports and facilities does the campus have?

The Kajang 2 campus includes a football field, outdoor swimming pool, two tennis courts, a basketball court, badminton hall, squash court, and two climbing walls. It also has a recording studio, art studios, music rooms, an auditorium, science laboratories, a computing suite, and a library.

Has the school published any university destinations for its graduates?

No university destinations, matriculation rates, or graduating-cohort figures have been published by the school to date. The only outcomes data currently available are the school's own early GCSE and AS Level examination results from 2026, which have not been independently verified.

How selective is the school, and what are my child's chances of getting a place?

The school does not publish an acceptance rate or application volumes, so it is not possible to gauge selectivity from public information. The admissions process uses age-specific assessments including CAT4 from Year 2 and a Head of School interview from Year 7, and applicants may be waitlisted when no place is available.
