Reading Blue Coats
We are very excited to announce that from September 2023, Reading Blue coat will be extending its co-education provision to welcome girls into Year 7.
We warmly invite you to our Open Morning on Saturday 8th October and hope you find Reading Blue Coat to be a gem of a site as well as a wonderfully happy and progressive school. We know that strong academic results open doors, but more than ever our children need encouragement to gain the confidence and independence to walk through them.
To be kind and engaged is what we expect of every member of our community. Kind to one another and to ourselves, and engaged with learning and the wealth of opportunities that can be enjoyed in and away from the classroom.
