Welcome
Why choose St. Edward's School?
I am honoured to be the Principal of such a well-established school. St. Edward’s has been providing first class education for boys in Reading for over 60 years. Being a boys only school we enjoy some powerful advantages over schools that serve both boys and girls: able to develop our resources, select our teachers and design our curriculum with only one goal in mind – to meet the educational needs of boys. I can, without reservation, say that we understand how boys learn and are equipped to meet boys' developmental needs at every stage of their education. Our school has an excellent reputation for quality teaching, small class sizes and traditional values in a caring environment. Non- profit making and excellent value for money, we have built our reputation around an environment designed to encourage learning and promote self-confidence.
With traditional values and dedicated teachers, St. Edward’s offers your son the very best possible start to their education. One where teaching provides new and stimulating experiences, where treating every child as an individual results in high levels of achievement – and where each boy accomplishes their full potential in moral and physical development as well as in all academic areas.
With an outstanding record of success in ensuring pupils pass the entrance exam to their chosen grammar or independent school, we take pride in helping every child achieve their best.
So in answer to the question ‘Why choose St. Edward’s?’, I respond by saying that we produce articulate, intelligent, caring all-rounders, well equipped and well prepared to move on to the next stage of their academic career with the confidence to embrace all that awaits them. What more could you want for your son?
