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.

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

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.

Please visit Beyond 900 for more details, and hear from Steve Allen, Head of Sport & PE; Alun Lloyd, Assistant Head (Quality of Education and Boarding Housemaster - South House); Ben Sandiford, Head of Drama; Oliver Griffin, Director of Music; and Tom Evans, Assistant Head (Personal Development, Pupil Premium, and EVC), sharing their vision.
