Many thanks to those of you who braved the elements to attend the Spring Fayre. Despite a cool breeze and a couple of showers most people seemed to enjoy the day. The army's inflatable assault course proved very popular as did the Battle of the Bands.
September 2010 Intake: We are delighted to find we are already receiving enquiries from parents of boys who received their acceptance letters this week and will be joining us in September. We have one enquiry from a parent in Maidenhead who would like to contact other Maidenhead area Reading School parents with a view to organising a school bus. If you are interested, please provide your details on the Contact Us page and we will forward them on. [SD]
Class Rep System: The class rep system set up by the Parents' Association (RSPA) is a great way for parents of boys in the same form to get to know one another. The benefits are both practical (for example, arranging lift sharing and finding out about forgotten homework) and social.
A group of 14 parents of boys in 7S recently met up for a meal in an Italian restaurant in Reading. Most of had not met before but had a very enjoyable evening getting to know each other and comparing notes on our sons' experiences at the school. We decided that we'd like to arrange regular events in future, probably once a term. [AH]
