The Royal Alexandra and Albert School is an all-through co-educational boarding school near Reigate, Surrey. The headmaster as of 2022 is Morgan Thomas. The Royal Alexandra and Albert School Act 1949 (12, 13 & 14 Geo. 6. c. xviii) united The Royal Alexandra School, which was founded in 1758, and The Royal Albert Orphan School, which was founded in 1864 as a national memorial to Prince Albert, late husband of Queen Victoria. It is one of 32 state-maintained boarding schools in England and Wales, and the only one to educate children from primary school years to sixth form.
