Reigate College was graded by Ofsted as "Outstanding" in 2008.[2]
Curriculum
The college offers predominantly GCE AS/A level and BTEC two-year courses,[3] and GCSE re-sit courses in Mathematics, English Language and Biology, alongside a student's 2 year programme.[4]
Previously, there was provision for students to enrol on an Intermediate Programme (pre- A Level), however the college made an assertion that "due to changes in government policy this is now no longer the case".[5]
Feeder schools
Recruiting or drawing from up to 100 state and independent schools each year, the college serves as a dedicated sixth form to seven partner schools: Oakwood School, Reigate School, Carrington School, de Stafford School, Merstham Park School, The Priory CofE School Dorking and The Beacon School.[6] Students at these schools are guaranteed a place at the College, so long as they meet minimum entry requirements and have an excellent school reference.[citation needed]

The main ILC is in the Independent Learning centre building with the library.
There is a computer suite, where students have access to PC's. There are copies of College textbooks and subject related magazines to support students' learning.[7]
