About the school
Reed's School is an independent day and boarding school for boys between the ages of 11 and 18
years, and for girls in the sixth form. The school is a registered charity and its work is overseen by a board of governors. A new chair of the governing body was appointed in 2016. The school was founded as a school for orphans in1813 by the Reverend Andrew Reed. It was a boarding school for boys until the 1950s, but was then opened to day boys and fee-paying pupils. Girls have been admitted to the sixth form since the 1980s, but only in significant numbers since 2000. The school moved to its present 40-acre site near Cobham in 1946. Since the previous inspection, the school has commenced an expansion in its facilities for academia, sport and music, with the latest project being the refurbishment of its sixth form centre.
The senior school caters for pupils in Years 7 to 11, and the sixth form is for pupils in Years 12 and 13.
Boarders are accommodated in three boarding houses; one for pupils in Years 7 and 8, one for the Middle School which comprises Years 9 to 11, and one for sixth form pupils.
What the school seeks to do
The aim of the school is to provide a high-quality education during which each individual pupil's
Strengths, potential and interests are identified and developed. The school seeks to provide a nurturing environment, promote academic excellence, find the best in every pupil, create a community for life and prepare pupils for the future. It aims to instil in pupils the values of integrity, compassion, curiosity, resilience, responsibility and independence. The school's original foundation remains of considerable importance, and the school seeks to provide financial support for pupils who have lost the support of one or both parents.
About the pupils
Pupils come from a range of professional backgrounds, mostly from White British families living in
Surrey and south-west London. Nationally standardised test data provided by the school indicate that the ability of the pupils in the senior school is above average and that of pupils in the sixth form is broadly average. The school has identified 116 pupils as having special educational needs and/or disabilities which include dyslexia, dyspraxia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder. These pupils receive additional specialist help. Also, 1 pupil has an education, health and care plan. Up to 15 per cent of the pupils have particular pastoral needs as they have lost the support of 1 or both parents. English is an additional language for 16 pupils, 7 of whom receive additional support. The school makes additional provision for pupils identified as academic, music, art, drama and music scholars and, through its sporting academies, for those who are particularly talented in tennis, skiing or golf.
