Beyond 900

BE A PART OF THE JOURNEY

As Reading School enters its tenth century, we are proud to launch the Beyond 900 campaign — a bold initiative to ensure the school continues to thrive for generations to come. For 900 years, Reading School has shaped the lives of young people through character, knowledge, and opportunity. Now, we are looking to the future with renewed ambition.

We know our students have remarkable potential, and our role is to help them develop the skills, values and passions that will lead to lifelong success and meaningful impact. However, our current facilities no longer reflect the aspirations or abilities of those we serve.

DONATE NOW

Through the Beyond 900 campaign, we aim to raise £28.5 million to transform our campus. This includes:


Phase One

A new Sports Hall


Phase Two

Revitalised Expressive Arts spaces for music, drama, and visual arts


Phase Three

A purpose-built Sixth Form Centre in the historic Junior School building

Beyond 900 Fund

These projects, alongside continued investment in our Future Stories social mobility programme, will shape a school environment worthy of our students’ talents and dreams.

We invite you to join us. Your support for the Beyond 900 Fund will help unlock extraordinary opportunities and ensure Reading School remains a place where ambition meets purpose — now and well into the next century.

Transforming Sport at Reading School

At Reading School, sport is a vital part of life — central to building character, teamwork and resilience, and essential in supporting our students’ academic and personal growth.

Each week, over 1,000 students train, compete and learn through a wide range of activities, from rugby, football and basketball to squash, cross-country and tennis. Our students also give back through our Future Stories programme, helping to coach and run Sports Days for local primary schools.

To truly match the potential of our school community, we must transform our provision. Hear from Steve Allen, Head of Sport & PE, as he shares his vision.

Inspiring Creativity Through the Arts

We believe music, art and drama are not just subjects, they’re vital to student growth, creativity and self-expression. Each year, our students showcase their remarkable talents: from the energy of the House Music Competition to striking visual art exhibitions and powerful drama performances.

Yet, while their creativity thrives, our current facilities do not. Recital and rehearsal spaces are limited, outdated, and lack the capacity to support their ambitions. To match their passion with opportunity, we are committed to building a new, state-of-the-art Expressive Arts Centre.

With your support, we can ensure every student has the space to explore, create, and perform to their full potential. Hear from Ben Sandiford, Head of Drama, and Oliver Griffin, Director of Music, as they share their vision for the future of Expressive Arts at Reading School.
