Reed's In The News

Tasked with interrogating their relatives and rummaging through their attics, our Third Form pupils pulled out all the stops to deliver some incredible family history projects, unearthing some amazing stories. Those who had delved the deepest into the family archives were given the honour of presenting their work to the enrapt staff members who took part in the gallery walk. From Olympic tennis players to internationally renowned spies, the exhibition had it all! . #history #familyhistory #historymatters

In the Sixth Form our varied and eclectic Elective Programme provides students with the opportunity to pursue a passion beyond their A Level subject choices. L6 Engineering students attended a workshop at University of Bath to build prototype designs of a 40m bridge. The session to make and test different ratios of cement to water proved very popular! As did testing each bridge by crushing them under a 3 Tonne crushing machine. One team's bridge was able to withstand the weight of Physics teacher, Mr Pope! The trip concluded with tour around the Bath, learning about the Roman Baths and the Georgian architecture, before meeting up with some Old Reedonians studying Engineering at Bath Uni. #bridgebuilding #industrialcadets #engineering #bathuni Old Reedonians, Reed's School

The Junior Production of Peter Pan last week was a real celebration of creativity and teamwork in a fresh and fast-paced new version by Evan Placey. So many pupils auditioned for the show that several lead roles were double-cast, meaning different performances took place on different nights, a clear sign of how strong the interest and standard were! Highlights included a genuinely scary crocodile, lively musical numbers with the pirates and Lost Boys, thrilling fight scenes, and a cleverly designed boat that delighted the audience. . #juniorproduction #peterpan #creativity #teamwork

Were you at Reed’s in 2016? Much would feel familiar to a visitor ten years on, although the Sixth Form Centre still had its external quad and no café, the front of the school was a car park, and the Bridgeman extension hadn’t even been thought of! It’s been a real pleasure going down memory lane and revisiting these incredible moments from 2016. The images capture just a small snapshot of that year. #2016memories #2016throwback
