About Us
Around 800+ students between the ages of 3 months and 18 years are registered here (day students and boarders from age 11+). Children are recognised as individuals with unique skills to celebrate and given tailored support and guidance at each stage of their school career. Our structure of Early Learning School, Junior School, Middle School and Senior School means that every year group works with professionals who specialize and enjoy working with the students in their care.
The unique Reddam House philosophy and our formula for success are based to a large degree on the quality and depth of our curricula, cultural and sporting activities and especially our teaching staff, fully recognising that what goes on in the classroom between teacher and student strongly influences the success of the school.
Early Learning School (3 months to 4+ years)
Welcome to our beautiful Early Learning School where the serious business of early education thrives in each of our dedicated classrooms and exceptional outdoor facilities. Learning here is based around a ‘rhythm of the day’ instead of a structured timetable; caring, dedicated staff invite our youngest students to join in with a variety of activities that are designed to allow each child to reach the next step in their development. We believe that children are confident, capable learners from birth and the education of our children is of utmost importance. Our facilities are designed to meet the specific needs of the particular age of the child, as well as offering a home-away-from-home, nurturing environment that ensures every child feels comfortable and happy whilst learning in all areas.
Junior School (Reception to Year 6)
Welcome to our Junior School. Our teaching and learning environment values both achievement and momentum to succeed, supported by the broad curriculum and commitment to academic, creative, cultural and sporting excellence. Our school reflects a vibrant and lively community, where children are given space, countless opportunities and support to grow in confidence and to discover their individual talents.
Middle School (Year 7 to Year 9)
Welcome to Reddam House Berkshire Middle School. In the first year of Middle School, there is an emphasis on greater contact with the tutor and Year Coordinator to ease the transition from Junior School. A wide and varied curriculum awaits our students as they enter this exciting phase of their journey. All teachers are specialists in their field and keen to inspire a love of learning in each child.
Senior School and Sixth Form (Year 10 to Year 13)
Welcome to the Senior School, where critical decisions are made about your child’s future. A broad curriculum provides the platform for GCSE choices and students are allowed to explore these subjects in the depth that secures excellent grades. However, an outstanding school experience is about so much more than exams and our students access an impressive range of extracurricular opportunities to ensure that learning is extended beyond the classroom. Reddam House benefits from both impressive facilities and committed staff who know the pupils well; the latter is a key to our success.
Sixth Form at Reddam House offers a high-quality education in a world-class school with a truly welcoming atmosphere - and a worldwide reputation for excellence.
