My son started at St Edward's after six years at another local independent school and from the start we have been amazed to see the glaring differences: from the Headmaster’s welcoming handshake at the beginning of the day to every single lesson, club and sports activity, St Edward's scores top marks. The school has achieved the seemingly impossible: to harness the boundless energy of young boys into a well-structured and disciplined teaching process while encouraging them to be active, free – and happy. Thanks to the books being brought home daily, parents have a clear picture of class work progress, the teachers are always available for a chat, and the school’s web site is informative and easy to navigate. Language teaching, which at the other school was treated as a time-wasting nuisance, is given its proper place here, the French being taught in an inspiring and effective manner, with a further incentive provided by the prospect of a week-long trip to France. Science and Computer Science, too, are taught by enthusiastic professionals in well-equipped dedicated classrooms, something we know is not the case at every school. After many disappointing years at another school my son now thrives – and it’s not hard to see why: St Edward's is a well-run school with committed friendly staff, the right balance between academic and physical pursuits, and the magic touch of knowing how to help boys grow into accomplished and happy young men.

We moved to the Reading area 4 years ago. My eldest son joined St Edward's at the end of Year 1 and my youngest started in Reception that September. St Edward's is a small school but provides fantastic opportunities in all areas. My eldest son is very sporty and has excelled in all the different sports that the school offers. They get to play sports fixtures against other schools which is a great experience and teaches the boys good sportsmanship and they know they are ambassadors for the school which demands their best behaviour and manners at all times. The school prides itself on having a family-like feel and it does genuinely care for each boy which in turn teaches the boys respect for each other. Both my sons enjoy school and are happy and confident and I feel the school is always trying to get the best out of them. I think St Edward's will prepare them well for secondary school.
I cannot recommend St Edwards Prep School more highly. With 2 very happy boys thriving at this polite, welcoming and incredibly positive school thanks to the wonderful staff and their inspirational and imaginative teaching, including P.E and music, we are so pleased that we chose the school. Of course we looked at other options but in our opinion there is no other prep school in the Reading area which compares.
An exceptional school through and through. The amazing teaching methods and staff transformed my son from a nervous boy into a confident & highly intelligent young man ready to take on any challenge. I cannot recommend this school highly enough. Thank you
Excellent school for learning and overall development supported by masterful teachers and staff.
