Some teachers r really good, computer teacher is great!! All teachers seem a bit angry a lot of the time. Food good but not very filling n kinda hungry after, n sometimes after I eat my stomach hurt, but no often Only went to the school cuz my friend went, kinda regretted that but eh. A lot of the teachers left, which was mostly good … *(Aug 2024)* - **3/5** — Student: They try there best but I suggest trying harder *(Jul 2024)* - **4/5** — Fights in RGS bad school: They fight very often and even if you do something very small they will give a detention which is not nice as it goes on your record some teachers target students like my daughter,16/5/2024 fight /storage/emulated/0/Download/VID-20240516-WA0001.mp4 *(May 2024)* - **2/5** — Positive & Negative: The staff and Students are very rude and when i was in year 7 all the students were horrible. The teachers are very strict and gave you a C1 and detention often. I will say, the food at RGS is very good and the dinner ladies put lots of effort into making it.Education wise, its good but i advise going to a place where they are nice to you. *(Oct 2023)* - **3/5** — My experience at school: Whilst the school building and base curriculum are pretty good this school has always had an issue teachers or the lack of them especially within the science department this means that for alot of students our education is broken up and we struggle to get the grades needed to pass *(Jun 2023)* - **1/5** — cause for concern.: one star is too much already this school has very rude teachers and they don’t do anything about racism especially and they use the excuse ‘it was a misunderstanding’. teachers don’t care about anything other than themselves and are selfish and rude and pick favourites. *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — Appalling behaviour across the school: The behaviour of the students was shocking! On a school trip, they made fun of another school because of their name. This was not just one student however, all students shared common values and were willing to share their opinion no matter how rude it was. *(May 2023)* - **3/5** — Reading Girls: I have been called names. Teachers don't really care about students opinions Some teachers are nice The mental health ambassadors are good Need more variety of food *(Apr 2023)* - **3/5** — review for reading girls school: not fair for different school years, staff shortages, *(Nov 2022)* - **2/5** — Don’t recommend: I’m a senior student now. The school was great for a while, however less than 10 teachers stayed after the last academic year, and that is no exaggeration. Learning is relatively poor standard, and the staff on the most part are uncaring towards students besides their grades. The senior staff (principal, vice principal etc) are disconnected from students, barely knowing which year group we’re in when we approach them. All in all its declined drastically in quality in the past 2-3 years. *(Sep 2022)* ## Other schools in Reading - [Waingels](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/reading/waingels-16805) — 2.6/5 (14 reviews) - [Maiden Erlegh School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/reading/maiden-erlegh-school-12332) — 2.3/5 (13 reviews) - [Blessed Hugh Faringdon Catholic School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/reading/blessed-hugh-faringdon-catholic-school-4104) — 1.3/5 (10 reviews) - [Highwood Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/reading/highwood-primary-school-22992) — 3.2/5 (5 reviews) - [Crazies Hill Church of England Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/reading/crazies-hill-church-of-england-primary-school-20967) — 4.9/5 (4 reviews) - [Theale Green School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/reading/theale-green-school-19897) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
