It was great to read the highly complimentary review of our main production, Cloudstreet, by the representative from National School Theatre Awards who attended the performance. It's a richly layered and technically demanding play which tells the story of two families, the Pickles and the Lambs, who live in a single house in post-war Perth, Australia. Some of the comments included: '...this production was expertly crafted from beginning to end with remarkable acting performances' 'What emerged onstage was not merely a school production, but a fully realised piece of theatre, thoughtful in its concept, confident in its execution, and rich in emotional detail' 'The set design was also highly effective; a particularly striking choice was the inclusion of a functioning onstage swimming pool' Four students have been nominated for awards and will attend the ceremony in January 2026 - we've got our fingers crossed for you all! 🤞 #dramaperformance #schooldrama #cloudstreet #nationalschooltheatreawards

#ThrowbackThursday to our Autumn Concert held at St Martin of Tours Church last week. It was a joyful celebration of the energy and ambition that sit at the heart of music-making at Reed’s. The Orchestra joined forces with the Corps of Drums to open the event with a gripping performance of Holst’s Mars. This was equalled with incredible soloists who, in turn, brought poised performances on the oboe, violin, trumpet and clarinet on pieces by composers such as Mozart, Hummel and Vivaldi. Schola Cantorum then offered a moment of stillness with Clive Osgood’s beautiful composition, 'His word shall stand forever'. After an atmospheric rendition of Sakamoto’s Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence and Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2, a flute solo of Rodrigo’s Fantasía provided an elegant and lyrical interlude. The evening gathered further momentum with the stirring Echoes of Valour composed by U6th student Sam O before the Orchestra, Schola Cantorum and the Ripley Court Singers joined together for a spectacular finale of Mike Oldfield’s Incantations, bringing the concert to a powerful and uplifting close. #creativity #grippingperformance #atmosphericmusic

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas....🎁 Especially for the pupils who very kindly filled and brought in an incredible 100 shoeboxes for the Samaritan's Purse Christmas Appeal. They will be sent to children in need across the world; it was genuinely moving to see the care and creativity that went into every single box. What a wonderful testament to the compassion and generosity within our school - our founder, Rev Andrew Reed, would be very proud! #compassion  #samaritanspurse  #samaritanspurseshoeboxes  #christmasgiving

A group of Lower Sixth students visited Oxford University to consider their uni application options. They were delighted to be shown round by Old Reedonian, Daphne Morris, who is a current undergrad there. She answered questions about life at the university and the application process, giving candid and detailed answers. After lunch the students took part in a Scavenger Hunt across the city - despite the damp conditions the group took part with gusto and thoroughly enjoyed the day! From January our Crucible Club is open to any L6 student who would like to explore the possibility of an Oxbridge university application. #oxforduniversity  #oxforduni  #Oxbridge
