I hope you find Reading Blue Coat to be a gem of a site as well as a wonderfully happy and progressive school. 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.
What a fantastic evening celebrating our Year 7 Sports Awards, recognising every student who has represented the school this year. Well done to all, and a special mention to our trophy winners in football, hockey, netball, and rugby for taking home the Most Improved and Coachesβ Player awards! Well done, everyone! β½πππ

Face-painting, egg decorating, "Guess the Name of the Bunny, and "Top Your Own Pancake" were just a few of the highlights! Best of all, 50% of the proceeds are going directly to charity. This year, weβre proud to be supporting Thumbs Up Club β a fantastic holiday club for children with special needsπ

Last Sunday the RBC Chamber Choir joined the Choir of Earley St Peter`s to sing for a special Evensong Service in celebration of International Women`s Day. The music was all composed by female composers, including the Magnificat and Nunc Dimits, written by Diana Owen, who attended the service. The choir sounded superb and it was particularly wonderful that the service was presided over by the Rev. Kate Wakeman-Toogood who was our school Chaplain before becoming the vicar of St. Peter`s.

Well done to the senior boys swimming team who came 15th overall in the freestyle relay and 16th overall in the medley relay π The team was put through their paces as they competed against over 80 other independent schools in this prestigious competition. The Otter Swimming Club, established in 1869, is one of the oldest and most celebrated swimming clubs in the country, and the Bath Cup and Otter Relay competition is always fiercely contested. A special mention to Connor, Allan, Archie and Ethan for some brilliant times!
Well done to our Year 10 music students who performed a wonderful recital, demonstrating a variety of styles and genres - from Led Zeppelin to Handel, John Williams to Coldplay! The students played and sang superbly, and supported and encouraged each other, both on and off stage, in rehearsals and in the concert πππ
