Reed's In The News

With a huge thanks to @swiftsgolf Freddie Edmunds @wellington_golf and to all the staff @thespringsgolfclub for a brilliant few days. The players love the opportunity of regular, competitive 54-hole strokeplay events; win, lose or draw there is always fun had and things to learn. Well done to Reed’s A Finlay F, Matthew K, James B and James P for holding on for the team win! And to Harry H, Jasmine K, Josh J and Gryffyn S for the best-placed of the B teams! Everyone contributing! James B missed out on the individual for another 3rd place finish, but another classy showing. Onwards and upwards, @reeds.golf Club Champs and two day camp next week!

Under the pretence of exploring forces and fluid dynamics, U6th Physics students enjoyed a cracking evening at @ifly.basingstoke last week. Hani S, Josh H, Alice G, Oli W and Matthew P-J looked like they were born to fly! And to prove that you can teach old dogs new tricks, Mr Thompson donned the red suit and took to the tunnel in some style. As always, Physics was the winner! Big thank you to @reedsalumni OR Matthew Fergusson (Br 2019) who had prepared a presentation about his experience @uniofbath reading Aerospace Engineering during our downtime! Good luck to this brilliant cohort as they make their final preparations for the @cambridgeint examinations next term.

Good luck to the @reeds.golf teams today competing in the final day of the @swiftsgolf 54-hole @world_amateur_golf_rankings event at the wonderful @thespringsgolfclub. A great position after round one but with three scores counting from four over 36-holes today, lots of golf still to be played!

With thanks to @surreydownsgolfclub for hosting today’s @schoolsgolf Area Final v @kgs_sport. The course and greens in remarkable condition, everyone appreciated being out and playing! Onto the Nationals!

The infamous magnolia tree in front of the school is suddenly in full bloom! A little bit of joy on this rainy, grey day. (Thanks to Mrs Lambert for the fab photo 😍) , #magnolia #springhassprung #springflowers

How fitting that in the week we celebrate #InternationalWomensDay we welcomed Nicci Clark, founder and CEO of Re:Nourish and the first-ever female winner of the UK Innovation Entrepreneur of the Year to talk to our A Level Business students. She spoke about her journey and the obstacles she faced, particularly as a female entrepreneur. Students were amazed to hear that, even in 2024, only 2p of every pound of finance lent to support entrepreneurs went to women, with 89p going to men and the rest to mixed gender co-founders. Nicci provided a captivating insight into the incredible growth that her fresh soup business has experienced from the production of the first bottle in 2019 to the widely distributed, international business it is today, picking up multiple awards along the way. @renourish_soup . #entrepreneur #femaleentrepreneurs #inspiringwomen

To mark International Women’s Day our Sixth Form girls were invited to a Girls’ Breakfast where they met 2 Old Reedonians, Rachel and Liv, who inspired them by talking about opportunities for women and the challenges they face as women within their industries, being in film and as a police officer. Upper Sixth Prefect, Ruby M spoke on this year's IWD theme #inspireinclusion, and reflected on how proud she was to be a Reed’s girl! The girls also enjoyed a Spring Dinner last night - a great way to get to know each other with the year groups mixed together and some fun games lead by the House Captains. . #InternationalWomensDay #internationalwomensday2024 #InspiringWomen

A busy week for @reeds.golf. A @schoolsgolf league match v @glyn_school_official and a @swiftsgolf foursomes league match v @hellofreemens, with 10 different performance squad players in action. Thank you to @burhillgolfclub @burhilljuniors for hosting, the junior match teas always a treat! Lovely to experience the apricity of the day, providing a healthy measure of sunshine, and the strengthening whiff of spring in the air. Bring on the golf season!
