"Our Daughter's Time at Read School"

We have been absolutely delighted with Read School. Our daughter has thrived in her time at the school, and we have been impressed by the supportive community and the dedication of the staff. The facilities are excellent, and we love the emphasis on sport and physical activity.

"Some Good, Some Not So Good"

We have been pleased with the progress our child has made at Read School, but we have also experienced some issues with communication and organisation. The staff are generally very friendly and supportive, but we have had to chase for information and feedback at times.

"A Truly Special School"

We chose Read School for our children over 10 years ago, and we were not disappointed. The school's values of inclusivity, respect, and kindness really shine through, and our children have always felt happy and supported. We have many fond memories of their time at the school.
