About Crosfields School
Crosfields School is a co-educational, independent day school for pupils aged 3 to 16. Located near Reading, Berkshire, it accommodates approximately 625 pupils.
Founded in 1957, the school is now run as a charitable trust under a single governing body. In 2021 the school created two distinct areas, the Junior School which encompasses all year groups from Nursery to Year 6, and the Senior School for Years 7 to 11. New for the 2021/22 academic year is a brand new Senior School building which provides an excellent setting for older students as the school extends to 16 and it will enjoy its first cohort of GCSE students in 2023.

Vision and values
First and foremost, the school aims to create an environment where every child is safe, happy and supported. It strives to offer a curriculum that is varied enough to allow every unique individual to discover their talents. Teachers encourage children to put in the effort and be resilient. They hope to give pupils the ability to be independent thinkers who challenge and enquire.
Numeracy and ICT skills are especially good at this school, along with reading. Creative subjects such as design and technology and art are another focus. The curriculum as a whole gives pupils experience in linguistic, mathematical, scientific, technological and social areas, as well as physical education. Extra-curricular activities range from golf and fencing to Forest School and chess. School trips are also organised to broaden pupils’ horizons.
ISI report
“Pupils throughout the school develop very good skills across different subjects and the school prepares them very well indeed for the next stage of their education. The curriculum, together with an excellent range of extra-curricular activities, trips and visits, supports pupils’ learning extremely well.”
