Learn More →Reddam House Berkshire Overview
Reddam House Berkshire is an independent, co-educational day and boarding school at Sindlesham, near Wokingham in Berkshire, educating children from 3 months to 18 years on one campus around 40 miles west of London. Lessons are centred on a restored Victorian mansion set in more than 125 acres of parkland. Opened in 2015, the school is part of Inspired Education Group, an international group of more than 100 schools.
Pupils progress through the Junior, Middle and Senior Schools to GCSEs. The Sixth Form offers a broad range of A Levels, a small number of vocational Cambridge Technical courses and the Extended Project Qualification, with most students taking three A Levels in classes of usually fewer than 10.
Boarding at Reddam House Berkshire
Boarding is available from Year 7, and more than 90 boys and girls from over 30 nationalities board. Full boarders stay seven days a week during term time, while weekly boarding from Sunday to Friday and flexi stays are also offered.
Boarding Houses and Accommodation
Boarders live in three purpose-designed houses. Drake House, the largest, takes up to 66 students in single, double and triple rooms, with single rooms usually kept for final-year boarders. Blake House has double rooms with shared Jack-and-Jill bathrooms, and The Loft, completed in 2022 at the top of the mansion, adds a kitchen, a games room and a cinema used by boarders from every house. Resident boarding staff provide support around the clock.
Boarding Life
Each house runs its own weekend programme, with outings such as Thorpe Park, shopping in Windsor, Ascot Races and Reading FC matches, and paintballing, quizzes and pizza nights on campus. Boarders can use the 25 metre indoor pool, fitness suite, 350-seat theatre and dance studios.

Every student has a tutor, seen daily, with regular one-to-one tutorials on progress and university plans, and students can also turn to a mental health first aider or the school counsellor. Learning support specialists work with pupils individually or in small groups, and the Good Schools Guide records provision for dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD and Asperger's syndrome.
