Pete Thomas Headmaster INTRODUCTION Reading Blue Coat is a leading independent co-educational day school for students from ages 11 to 18. As at September 2025, the School has over 850 students and is now into our third year of full co-educational from Year 7 upwards – our Sixth Form has been fully co-educational for over 40 years; all year groups will be co-educational by September 2027. The School was founded in 1646 by Richard Aldworth, a Master of The Skinners’ Company, and a Governor of Christ’s Hospital in Horsham, West Sussex. Inspired by the philanthropic nature of of Christ's Hospital, Richard Aldworth set aside £4,000 in his Will ‘For the education and bringing upp of twenty poore boyes of Reading’ Through this one, simple act, Aldworth’s Hospital, now Reading Blue Coat, was created. In 1660 the first students walked through the doors of a former inn in Silver Street in the Centre of Reading. And in 1947, Reading Blue Coat moved to the magnificent estate of Holme Park in the Berkshire village of Sonning, where it remains today. The ethos of the School derives from its Christian foundation and traditions, fostering care and concern within the community and enabling all students to develop their full potential. The School aims to provide a stimulating and friendly atmosphere in which each student can realise his or her full intellectual, physical, and creative potential. Students are encouraged to be self-reliant and adaptable, and the School intends that they will learn the basis of good citizenship, founded on honesty, fairness and understanding of the needs of others. The curriculum provides a balanced blend of academic and co-curricular activities that combine to meet these objectives. Inspire in our students a life-long love of learning, and the confidence to individually flourish In living this ethos, we strive to fulfil our purpose to: • • Equip our students to thrive in a rapidly changing world • Cultivate a warm, kind, noticing culture where students are happy, inclusion is the norm, and diversity is celebrated • Develop grounded, socially responsible, outward looking students, ready to lead fulfilling lives and make a positive contribution to the world • Nurture a community based on our shared values of aspiration, compassion, courage , integrity and service The School employs more than 200 salaried staff, of whom about 50% are teaching staff. Reflecting the move to full co-education, nearly half of our teaching staff are female. FACILITIES Reading Blue Coat is located four miles from the centre of Reading, in the Thames-side village of Sonning. It is also three miles from Twyford, located on Crossrail, with fast train service across London. Set in 46 acres of ...
