Reading
Addington School is an Outstanding Special School for children and young people
with special educational needs and disabilities. All our pupils’ primary need is
a learning difficulty with up to 50 percent also having Autism. I hope that you
find this website informative and that it gives you a picture of our pupils,
curricula, facilities and services. All our pupils have an Education and Health
Care Plan or a Statement of Special Educational Needs and we are able to
accommodate up to 255 pupils, aged between 3 and 19 years. Based in Woodley and
a Wokingham maintained school, we are very fortunate to have a purpose built
environment which makes our school a fantastic place for learning and wider
curriculum enrichment. We have particular strengths in our Creative Arts with
Music a particular focus for all our students and have considerable expertise in
teaching strategies for pupils with learning difficulties as well as Autism. We
are committed to tailoring a personalised Educational Programme for your child
to ensure that he or she reaches their full potential. To do this we encourage
our families to work alongside us and offer support services to help parents and
carers in pursuit of excellent outcomes for their child. Most importantly we
believe in a positive ethos based on mutual respect where we are all learning
together to be 'a community committed to excellence and the development of the
potential of all’. Whether you have a child already at the school, or are a
prospective parent or carer, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss
your child’s education.
