Reading School is an amazing place to study and work. Our School was founded in 1125 and, through its 900-year history, we have provided world-leading education to tens of thousands of students. With this rich heritage and depth of tradition, it should be no surprise that our academic reputation is second to none. Our Year 13 students are consistently awarded A* to B grades in more than 90% of their A-Level entries, and those sitting GCSEs regularly achieve the very top grades in more than 85% of their courses.
This is not what matters to us most though. We consider these outcomes a necessary, but insufficient measure of a student's education. Education is much more than grades, and learning is much more than retaining information. Education is the business of hope. It sustains society, nurtures culture, inspires innovation and enables the best in humanity.
Education matters, because people matter.
At Reading School, in all we do, we therefore seek to nurture curiosity, inspire service and build character. We promote honesty and community as well as excellence and leadership. We encourage our students to find resilience at the bottom of the ruck, humility on the podium, delight when encountering difference, patience when practice is tough and integrity when no-one is watching.
As a school of character, we believe that your actions can and will make a difference to you and others. We are a values-based organisation that focuses on growth and development. Our core values underpin everything that we do and our staff, both teaching and associate, role model these values.
If you are thinking about joining our team you can find out why it might be the right fit for you. Our team is proud to make a positive impact and strives to put values in to action – excellence, integrity, leadership and community.
