In order to fulfil our mission of enhancing the students’ education and supporting their parents and carers, we carry out the following:
-We ensure all new starters and their families are warmly welcomed into the Reading School Family. We aim to invite New Y7 starters to a picnic, fayre or our Pre-Loved Uniform Shop Day in the school grounds, depending on what capacity School have for us to host such events. We attend at or co-ordinate our own Y7 welcome evenings, create their own year Facebook page and are generally on hand to help with their transition to school;
-We provide and maintain a parental communication system - Classlist;
-We organise social functions, which have previously included quiz nights, the Christmas Market, the Summer Fayre and also Student Discos with a Parent/Carer Meet & Greet;
-We fundraise to help fill any requirements not met by the Government budget;
-We enhance the school environment by provision of e.g. a Multi-Use Games Area, a covered learning area Canopy, the installation of new benches, bathrooms and cricket nets;
-We support additional events e.g. House Music Competition, Sports Personality of the Year, Junior Prize Giving and the Y13 Leavers Drinks Party;
-We also provide a well-stocked Preloved Uniform Shop, and help to organise a Lost Property collection point and a returns service.
