The first master, Revd John Williamson, was the vicar of Reigate and for the first two centuries, several headmasters were also parish priests. The school became a [[grammar school]] in 1861 and around this time many of the original buildings were replaced. The school was taken over by Surrey County Council under the [[Education Act 1944]], but became independent in 1976. In the same year, girls were admitted to the [[sixth form]] and the school became fully coeducational in 1993. It merged with Reigate St Mary's Prep School and [[Chinthurst School]] in 2003 and 2017 and, as of 2021, the three school together educate around 1,500 pupils aged from 3 to 18. An international division was created in 2017, to work in partnership with the Kaiyuan Education Fund, to establish up to five schools in China.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.reigategrammar.org/about-the-school/history-tradition/ |title= History & Tradition |author= <!--Not stated--> |date= 11 March 2021 |publisher= Reigate Grammar School |access-date= 28 September 2021 |archive-date= 10 October 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20211010121423/https://www.reigategrammar.org/about-the-school/history-tradition/ |url-status= live }}</ref> [[File:Dunottar School - geograph.org.uk - 726246.jpg|thumb|Dunottar School]] [[Dunottar School]] was founded in 1926 and is named after [[Dunnottar Castle]] in [[Aberdeenshire]], where the [[Honours of Scotland|Scottish Crown Jewels]] were kept between 1651 and 1660.
