RSPA AGM 2026–27: A Positive Start to the New Academic Year!

The Reading School Parents’ Association (RSPA) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday, 12th October 2026, marking an encouraging start to the 2026–27 academic year.

We were delighted by the excellent turnout and enthusiastic participation from parents. It was particularly heartening to see several new volunteers coming forward to join the RSPA Committee, bringing fresh ideas, energy, and enthusiasm to support our school community.

We were also privileged to welcome three senior members of Reading School staff, who generously gave their time outside school hours to attend the meeting:

  • Ms Lizzie Ayres – Acting Head

  • Mr Warren Symonds – Head of Operations

  • Mrs Cathy Woodcock – Head of Finance

Their presence provided a valuable opportunity for parents to engage directly with the school leadership, ask questions, and gain insights into the school's progress and ongoing developments.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who attended, particularly our school representatives, for their time, openness, and willingness to engage with parents.

We look forward to another productive year of collaboration, community spirit, and continued support for Reading School and its students!
