John Matthews's Company Details
Read School is a registered charity and exists to provide an education for its pupils, which is caring, inspiring and fun. In a Senior School of around 200 and a Preparatory School of about 60, with around forty members of teaching staff, it is possible for every pupil to have an influence in the school. You are never new here for long and those joining the school are quickly assimilated into the busy routine. Everyone is important and everyone makes a contribution for the good of the school. Read School has been a focal point for education in the Selby-Goole area for over 340 years, first as Drax Grammar School, and (since 1967) as The Read School. It is now a fully independent boarding and day school for boys and girls, offering a wide range of academic studies at GCSE and ‘A' Level, together with a full programme of sports, drama, music, CCF and recreational activity. High standards are expected in all aspects of endeavour, and in behaviour and manners. The school welcomes children of all abilities and able boys and girls – achieving high grades in public examinations – work alongside children of more modest abilities. If you are considering an independent education for your child, Read School is well worth a visit.
