Reed's In The News

A group of Sixth Form Economics and Business students enjoyed an inspiring trip to Frankfurt during the Easter break. From exploring the city’s rich culture to visiting Schwetzingen Palace, Heidelberg and Römerberg, the trip blended cultural discovery with real-world learning. A standout highlight was the visit to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, where students experienced the trading floor in action and gained insight into ETFs during an expert-led seminar. A lecture at the Bundesbank brought monetary policy to life, exploring the realities of a shared currency across the Eurozone. With a guided city tour and a seminar on business competition at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, helped students deepen their understanding of key economic concepts beyond the classroom. . #economics #frankfurt #stockexchange #MonetaryPolicy #EconomicConcepts

Sixth Form Spanish linguists headed to Granada, Andalucía for a cultural and linguistic immersion trip over Easter. Each morning the students attended lessons at a language school, where they were put through their paces with lively conversational tasks and challenging grammar. Afternoons were spent exploring the city - sightseeing and sampling the tastiest helados, refrescos and churros from local establishments. Other highlights included a cooking lesson where the group followed instructions entirely in Spanish to prepare a delicious three-course meal; a guided walk through the Albaicín, with its stunning viewpoints overlooking the Alhambra; a mesmerising flamenco performance in the Sacromonte caves; and a visit to the Alhambra, a breathtaking window into Spain's rich Moorish heritage. . #spanishimmersion #granada #alhambra

#ThrowbackThursday to the Third Form trip to the battlefields of Normandy last week. The pupils encountered everything from Omaha beach to the adventurous tails of the 9th parachute battalion at the Merville Gun battery. Led by two fanatical tour guides the group travelled across Normandy from Carentan to Caen and entered the shoes of the men that fought there 82 years ago. They learnt a lot from the La Cambe German cemetery and the eye-opening American cemetery at St Laurent finding it breathtaking to witness first hand the scale of the war in Normandy. During the closing stages of the trip pupils visited the British memorial of Ver Sur Mer and took part in a service to commemorate all fallen soldiers that died during the Normandy campaign - truly humbling. . #battlefieldtours #normandy #firstworldwar #humbling

As term draws to an end we post our annual photo of the beautiful magnolia tree in the sunshine outside the main entrance - it actually bloomed very early this year! Reflecting on a very busy Spring term, we wish all our pupils and parents/guardians a wonderful Easter break! . #endofterm #happyeaster #fullonterm

Upper Sixth physicists headed up to London’s O2 to celebrate two years of hard work and to say a pre-emptive thank you for the fine tuning still to come as exam season approaches. Fuelled by Thunderbird chicken and high spirits the group took to the skies – or at least the wind tunnel - at iFly. Marketed loosely as an exploration of fluid mechanics, the evening was, in truth, an excellent excuse for some well-earned fun. Everyone embraced the challenge with enthusiasm. While some took a little time to find their flow, others looked ready for immediate take off. Some students made it all seem so effortlessly aerodynamic perhaps suggesting a future beyond physics, should aviation come calling! . #skydiving #iFLY #physics #examseason

The Jazz Collective brought the house down at PizzaExpress Live! in Holborn last week, one of London's most iconic jazz venues with a set that was as stylish as it was ambitious. From the opening blast of Snarky Puppy's Lingus to a show-stopping Stevie Wonder tribute finale, the evening showcased an extraordinary range of talent across solo performances, small ensembles, and full big band. Highlights included some beautifully judged vocal performances, a stunning original composition, and an ensemble reimagining of Coldplay's The Scientist before the whole Collective came together for a roof-raising finish. With pupils from Third Form to Upper Sixth all contributing meaningfully to a performance of genuine quality on a serious professional stage, the evening was a perfect reflection of everything Reed's Music stands for: excellence through inclusivity. A truly special night! . #JazzNight #steviewonder #pizzaexpresslive

A morning of Engineering activities for pupils in the Second Form started with creating a catapult to launch a plane. In groups they researched what might affect the flight path of the plane, and what structures are the strongest. They then set to work in FutureTech making their sketched design with the materials provided as well as being taught the theory of forces acting on the plane and how launch angles affect the distance of a flight. Finally, the hard work was put to the test by launching the planes to see how successful the design was. A second flight with weights put their theory lessons to good use. A great opportunity to learn about designing and building as a team! . #engineering #strongstructures #teamwork #design

A group of students took part in an exciting Model United Nations (MUN) conference hosted at Epsom College. They represented Vietnam across several different committees as well as working together as a delegation in the afternoon. It was a large conference with over 200 students from schools across Surrey, South London and Kent taking part. Debating topics such as the conflict between the United States and Venezuela led to some lively and thought-provoking discussions. Students gained a valuable opportunity to develop confidence in public speaking, debating and teamwork, as well as learning more about global issues and diplomacy. All skills that universities value highly! . #mun #modelunitednations #globalissues #diplomacy
