Informal coffee and chat with the head of The Abbey Junior School, followed by a short school tour for prospective families.
The Abbey Junior School is hosting a coffee and chat with its head, Mrs Beccy Newton, on Thursday 26 November, from 9:00 am to 10:00 am. It's an informal session aimed at prospective families, and it's held at the school itself, 30 Christchurch Road, Reading RG2 7AR.
The morning is built around a conversation with Mrs Newton, who'll talk through the school's ethos, its academic approach and how it handles pastoral care. It's not a formal presentation; there's an open Q&A, so you can ask your own questions and get a sense of how the school works from the person running it. Tea, coffee and biscuits are served, and there's the option of a short school tour afterwards, so you can see the classrooms and the grounds for yourself.
For context, The Abbey is one of the country's leading independent girls' schools, educating girls from ages 3 to 18, and the Junior School is its primary department. This session is one of several the wider school runs for families, alongside open days, taster days and activity afternoons, so if this particular morning doesn't fit your schedule, there are other ways to get a look inside.
