A busy variety of activities are an integral part of boarding here at Read.
We balance the need to study with the need to develop skills and experiences whilst enjoying ourselves.
All our pupils have full use of the school facilities outside of school hours.This may be to do homework in the ICT suite, play football on the Astroturf pitch or badminton in the Sports Hall, trampolining, swimming or just relaxing in the common rooms.
Most boarding pupils will be taking part in school sports fixtures on Saturdays, but Sunday is generally a day for rest and recreation and a wide and varied spectrum of activities is provided. Boarding pupils are expected to attend a church service on the first and third Sundays in each month, at the Church of St Peter and St Paul in Drax village.
Non-Church Sundays and Church Sunday afternoons are then given over to the activities mentioned.
