Our Vision: 

"Empowering Every Individual to Thrive: A Vision for Reading Girls’ Secondary School" 

At Reading Girls’ School, we envision a community where every young person is encouraged to explore, question, and grow, with a spirit of curiosity as our guide. We foster an inclusive environment where happiness and resilience flourish, nurturing lifelong learners who are independent, brave and encouraged to take risks that enable them to fulfil their potential. 

Our commitment extends beyond the classroom, as we aim to cultivate responsible, global citizens who are connected to the world around them. Through our holistic approach to education, we inspire students to take an active role in the school and wider community. 

With this vision, Reading Girls’ School stands as a beacon of empowerment, where every individual can thrive.

Excellence 
We believe in fostering a culture of excellence, where every student is encouraged and supported to reach their full potential. Through rigorous academic programmes and personalised learning experiences, we strive to cultivate a thirst for knowledge and a commitment to lifelong learning amongst our students. 

Kindness and Respect 
Central to our ethos is the belief in kindness and respect for oneself and others. We cultivate a supportive and inclusive community where empathy, compassion and understanding are valued virtues. We recognise and celebrate the unique qualities and contributions of each individual, fostering a culture of mutual respect and acceptance. 

Empowerment 
We empower our students to discover their talents and strengths in a supportive environment, preparing them for success in an ever-changing world. We strive to realise our school's vision of empowering every student to be happy, successful and aspirational. Together, we cultivate a community where excellence, kindness and respect, are not only upheld but celebrated as the foundation of our collective identity.
