Kendrick School is an 11-18 selective girls’ school with academy status. Since
2003 Kendrick has enjoyed the benefits of being a specialist school in Science,
Mathematics and Languages; this ethos of specialism is reflected across all
subjects including English, the Arts and Humanities, Music and Drama, Computing
and Technology. In February 2011 Kendrick became an Academy. Over the years
Kendrick has built and maintained an impressive record of the highest academic
standards and achievements. It is now acknowledged as being amongst the very
best state schools in the country. Kendrick is proud of its superb reputation
and also the opportunities it affords its students to participate in an all
round education where their thirst for knowledge and love of learning is
nurtured in a secure and caring environment. Kendrick aims to celebrate and
value the traditions of the past and the challenges of the future. The school
combines the virtues of a traditional grammar school while confidently embracing
modern approaches to teaching, learning, technology, management and leadership.
As an outstanding school, Kendrick seeks to work with other schools and
organisations and to this end we have excellent relationships with secondary and
primary schools within the local area and beyond. Kendrick actively pursues
partnerships with educational establishments as well as with local businesses.
These associations benefit the students of Kendrick and also enable us to share
the good practice and opportunities we have with other schools and students in
Reading. Currently Kendrick is a hub school in the Science Leadership
Partnership in the South East of England and provides support and expertise to
schools in the teaching of Science. Kendrick is also part of the Reading
Teaching School with Churchend Primary School.
