TEACHING

Teaching at Reed’s is based upon our principles of motivating and inspiring each pupil individually to achieve their full personal potential. Teaching and Learning was given the highest accolade by inspectors in our last ISI Inspection, and we continuously look to make improvements; supporting and developing our staff is key to this. It is a professional goal for all our teachers to make the lessons interesting and to make the learning enduring. We have developed our own unique cognitive learning model to help pupils understand how to learn. The vast majority of our pupils go on to attend their first-choice universities, with Russell Group universities being the most popular destinations. A number of pupils also go on to attend universities overseas with US universities becoming increasingly popular.

HISTORY

Reed’s School was founded by Andrew Reed in 1813 to educate destitute children who had lost both parents (or their father, with the mother unable to provide for them). In 1871 it moved from Clapton to Watford, and in 1946 to its present site in Cobham, Surrey. A boarding Foundation School until 1958, it then expanded to take fee paying boarders and, in the mid 1960’s, day boys.

ETHOS

The purposeful and nurturing ethos of the School, where there is a love of learning and where we seek to develop the self-esteem and character of each individual, is at the heart of our pupils’ successes. Inspiring them to unlock their true potential is founded on outstanding pastoral care, excellent teaching and a philosophy of providing a breadth of opportunities for all our pupils.

The passionate and committed employees at Reed’s are one of our greatest assets and are key to providing the foundations described above and the warm sense of community that is prevalent within the School.
