Private school in Reading

“Proud Asian studying rlly hard. Fantastic and perfect environment for overseas student! Great school! Fantastic sporting facilities as well!!”

“The best catholic school in the U.K.”

“Lovely school, helpful staff, lots of diversity, and most importantly, all the kids are always smiling and proud of belonging to Micklands :-)”

“Has a swimming pool, sports hall (badminton/ basket ball) and a studio for things like dance lessons etc. It's got decent amount of parking too. Cost wise, it's a bit above the average. But given the kind of facilities available, I dont mind.”

“My girls are thriving at this wonderful school. We have been warmly welcomed into the community and everyone is so supportive. There is an ultimate sense of ‘family’ at the heart of the school and everyone in it.”

“Both my children attend Sherfield School, they’re having a brilliant experience there. Both enjoying the academic and sports side that the school offers. Would highly recommend the school - both the children and us, have made many friends there.”

“Such wonderful housekeeping staff. Sue and Sam. Helpful and always cheerful and fun.”

“Just had Parents Evening and thrilled with the progress and care taken of my daughter. Staff clearly know my daughter and their stuff. Fantastic pastoral care in amazing facilities.”

“My daughter attended Leighton Park From Year 8 to Year 11. She had an absolutely fantastic experience, and they gave her the most fantastic support with her dyslexia. She came as a young person with incredibly low self esteem due to her additional needs but left with enormous confidence, pride and 7 level 9 GCSEs, 2 level 8s an A* and a distinction* in a BTEC. She is now studying 4 A levels at college and is on a program to apply for Oxbridge and is seriously considering a career in politics. None of this would have been possible without the care and attention She received at LP. Their Individual Learning Centre where help is given to students with specific learning difficulties is top notch. Even more important than the qualifications is the sense of community and responsibility that my daughter learnt whilst there. All of the teachers genuinely care. We were so grateful when Covid hit, with how swiftly they put in to action on the line learning . She was Year 10 and taught every day. The pastoral care shines at this place. If you are considering Leighton Park for your son or daughter, I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

“it is the center of learning and the universe”

“Two of my kids have been at Hall Grove for a few years now and they both absolutely love it. Oldest has gotten stuck into his music and drama and my daughter loves the Pony Club. Will definitely be sending the youngest there too!”

“I would go there and I live no where near.”

“Our son has attended LVS ascot for 5 years, it was and still is the best choice we made to date. We live in an area with wonderful schools, and when we visited them all those years ago, we were deflated with those local schools, we wanted to look at LVS but logistically from our House it was not going to be easy. But we did visit, and within two minutes we all fell in love with LVS, you know that feeling when you just know it feels right! And 5 years on and not one day have we ever regretted that choice. LVS is full of real people, support to pupils and parents. While achieving fantastic grades, but with happy well balanced students. The mixture of pupils from all different backgrounds, whether they are day students or boarders it’s bonded in an unique way. Our son has achieved so much at LVS in all areas of his life. The staff are open and welcome, and it’s so obvious the students come first. After our first year I approach the school to ask if they would consider doing an extra bus route to our area, which they agreed, so not alone did we have a wonderful school, they helped us as parents out too. To achieve great results in exams, first you have to give a child confidence to achieve great things! Every time I sit in Presidents’ Day, or I go to a music performance or attend sports day, I take a moment to look around me, to see happy smiling faces, I listen to the laughter of happy people and I give thanks to all his teachers, support staff, dinner ladies, bus drivers, cleaners, office staff and grounds men and women. As without all these wonderful people we wouldn’t have this amazing community of support for our precious children. Thank you LVS Angela Horan-Sibley”
