Reed's In The News

The Boarders' Christmas Dinner always heralds the start of the festivities at Reed's in preparation for a restful holiday. This year's was a lovely, family-orientated event which showed the best of our pupils and staff in the Reed's boarding family. Heads of Houses set a series of fun challenges throughout the evening. Mr Anderson's Chimney Challenge (a race to squeeze every member of the table through a cardboard chimney) was won by table 'Donner' who also won Mr Douthwaite's Gingerbread Decorating Challenge with their three-dimensional star which involved careful sawing and reassembly of their biscuit! Mr Rockett's challenge involving balloons, beanbags and towers of cups was such fun that no one can remember who actually won! Patrick, Raice, and John represented the three boarding houses, saying some deserved warm words about their Matrons, before the Heads of House were given a huge round of applause for all the time and love they give. The evening ended with a whole-room karaoke rendition of Feed the World, led with gusto by Mr Hoskins and Mr Atkins! Thanks was also given to our caterers, Independents at Sodexo, who a dessert servery which looked like something out of Wonka! . #christmasdinner #boarders #community

Thrilled to annouce that a group of Second Form pupils won THIRD PLACE in the prestigious Southampton University's Day of the Dead competition! One of the judges, the Mexican Ambassador, commented on the 'outstanding storytelling' used by the pupils in the video they worked so hard to make, independently getting together to do the research on this famous cultural event. An outstanding achievement against thousands of other participants across the UK! #thirdplacevictory #dayofthedead #mflcompetition
