This year marks the introduction of Speech Day, kindly sponsored by the Reading Foundation. This inaugural event brings together what were formerly the Junior Prize Giving and Senior Prize Giving into a single, refreshed celebration of student achievement.
Year 13 students and the Class of 2025, along with their parents/carers, are warmly invited to join us for the Senior Celebration ceremony, promptly commencing at 1:30 pm.
In addition to prize-giving and the presentation of A-Level certificates to the Class of 2025, the programme will feature performances, the traditional presentation of the Annual Stipend by the Mayor of Reading and a keynote speech from a guest speaker.
Following the ceremony, guests are invited to enjoy canapés and refreshments sponsored by the Reading Foundation, with a bar kindly sponsored by the Reading School Parents’ Association (RSPA). Due to capacity, we are only able to accommodate a maximum of two family members per child.
Students who are due to receive prizes will be contacted separately one month before the event.
