At Read, we welcome pupils from both the UK and overseas, and this mix of nationalities and backgrounds enhances the experience of boarding and extends the ethos of these diverse cultures into the wider school community.

We offer a happy and nurturing environment where every child is secure and valued, giving them the chance to learn valuable life skills and grow in confidence, whilst learning a new language.

We are very experienced in ensuring that the, often difficult, early transition period between home and school, is accomplished smoothly, calmly and happily, with a good track record of successful settling in within a short time.
