Our Location: A Prime Position
You’ll find us in Reading, nestled in 65 acres of parkland and just across the road from the University of Reading Whiteknights Campus. Reading is 25 minutes away from London and 20 minutes from Oxford.
It’s an enviable location. You get the mental and physical benefits of being surrounded by beautiful parkland, while staying within easy reach of some of the UK’s most exciting cities.
We're also just 30 minutes from Heathrow: perfectly placed for our international boarding students. In fact, it’s a great site for anyone looking for a day or boarding school near London.

Set For Success
We believe our location is one of the many reasons we’re one of the top independent schools in the UK.
We’re close to London and Oxford, in an ideal spot to go on regular trips out of the classroom to put our learning into a real-world context. We're surrounded by leading companies, giving you the opportunity to learn about what's happening in the world now rather than from out-of-date text books.
We visit places like the National Theatre and Sadler’s Wells to enhance English, Drama and Dance. Exhibitions at the National Gallery and Tate Modern help with Art, Textiles and DT. Geography students go to South Wales and Devon. And trips to Thorpe Park aren’t just fun - they help with Physics too.
Four of the top five universities are also less than 40 minutes away, creating opportunities for attending public lectures and open days.
