Education watch Crosfields School unveils


plans for new Senior School Crosfields School in Shinfield has announced exciting plans to extend its offer by launching a new Senior School on its 40-acre site in Shinfield Road, Reading. The co-educational independent day school, which currently goes up to Year 8, will extend its age range to 16, taking its first cohort of Year 9 pupils in 2021. This means parents of current Year 6 could join the school next year for Year 7 and be the first to join the new senior school.


The development will include a brand new senior school building equipped with all the latest technology and classroom facilities. The school will offer an exciting range of GCSE options, taught by a specialist team of teachers – all with experience of teaching to GCSE standard and above.


The announcement is good news for current parents many of whom have petitioned for the extension of years. The new senior school will also be attractive to new parents who are seeking an all-round, high quality education for their children in a co-educational, day-only environment.


Parents are invited attend the next Open Morning on 8th March, or register their Year 6 child for the Year 7 Taster Day on 28th February. Visit W: www.crosfields.com/tosixteen to find out more.
