Pre-Prep & Pre-School
The Best Possible Start

PLEASE COME ALONG TO OUR OPEN MORNING ON WEDNESDAY 14 NOVEMBER, 9.30 - 11.30 AND SEE OUR SCHOOL IN ACTION. WE WOULD LOVE TO WELCOME YOU TO OUR SCHOOL.
Prep
Growing through learning

An excellent environment for our younger children to work in
Senior
Traditional Learning for a Bright Future

The Read School exists to provide an all-round education for its pupils, combining independent tradition with the best of modern practice.
Sixth Form
Independence and Confidence Through Learning

Read School is a good place to study, especially as preparation for higher education as the Sixth Form brings many challenges
Boarding
Modern boarding at Read School is an increasingly popular and enjoyable experience for many boys and girls.

Homework

The regular practice of reading books, spellings and learning tables is enough for children of this age group.

However, on occasions, if the teacher feels further reinforcement or revision is needed before an assessment your child may bring home a sheet or booklet. Please assist with these if necessary, but it is essential that you DO NOT do the work for them.

We encourage the children to read for pleasure. This should not be viewed as a chore or as a competition of marching through the different reading levels. All children progress at different times and speeds, this is an age where discovery and imagination is fuelled by enjoyment of reading materials. Each child gets the free choice of a library book each week to share at home, this is in addition to the school reading scheme. There is a Home/ School reading handbook outlining further questions you may have.
