Maiden Erlegh School in Reading

🌟 Students of the Week! 🌟
Despite the heat today, we were so proud to celebrate our amazing Students of the Week! ☀️👏
With temperatures a little too high for our usual hot chocolate treat, we mixed things up and surprised students with a well-earned breakfast ice cream instead 🍦😄 — a huge hit all round!
It was also wonderful to see so many students taking part in our non-uniform day in support of Young Carers. Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped raise awareness for such an important cause 💙
Well done to all our winners — keep up the fantastic work! 🌟

🌍✨ A group of our students had a fantastic day at the University of Reading’s Schools Climate Education & Action Event!
From touring the Atmospheric Observatory to exploring biodiversity, decarbonisation and renewable energy, it was an inspiring and thought‑provoking experience.
A brilliant opportunity to learn more about the science behind climate action—and the role our students can play in shaping a sustainable future 🌱💡
Thank you to the University of Reading for running such an inspiring day!

🎓✨ We’re proud to host our first ever Destinations Fair!
Bringing together a range of sixth forms, colleges and apprenticeship providers from across Reading, students will gain expert advice on applications, pathways and future opportunities.

☕✨ Students of the Week Celebration ✨☕
This week, our Students of the Week enjoyed a well-earned celebratory hot chocolate with Deputy Head, Mr Hood — a lovely opportunity to recognise their hard work, positive attitudes, and achievements. 👏
With Mrs Gibbs attending the annual Reading Heads Conference, Mr Hood proudly stepped in to host the celebration and share in recognising our fantastic students.
We did miss a few of our award recipients, who are currently taking part in their Duke of Edinburgh expedition 🏕️ — we wish them the very best of luck and look forward to celebrating with them when they return!
Well done to all our Students of the Week — we are incredibly proud of you! 🌟

Inspired by the warm weather, a group of Year 11 students spent their final Personal Development lesson enjoying a picnic together.
It was a lovely opportunity to reflect on their time at school, share their aspirations for the future, and talk about the experiences and friendships that have shaped their journey.
It was a privilege to listen to their stories and ambitions as they prepare for the next stage of their lives.
The sunshine provided the perfect backdrop for creating a few more memories together before they move on to new adventures.
We wish them every success and happiness in the future.

🌟 We’re proud to launch our first Post-16 Destinations Fair! 🌟
With a wide range of sixth forms, colleges, apprenticeship providers, and alumni on hand, students have the opportunity to explore next steps, get advice, and discuss applications.
We’re delighted to offer this experience to our Year 9 and 10 students, as well as Year 10 students across our Trust.
