Reed's In The News

We are so proud of the Fourth Form team who WON the south-east regional 2024 #MathsFeast at CFS this week! Monty J, Sam C, Tiago S and Hadley C scored a very impressive 95/100 on a range of challenging tasks. Sam's talent in #logic helped them to achieve 25/25 in the 2nd round!

As the Spring Term ends we look back on an exciting week. In Geography the Third Form designed and built their own earthquake-proof buildings out of spaghetti and marshmallows which were then tested by Mr Neat and Mr Moore shaking the desks. Only one 'building' withstood the quakes - congrats to Heath, Murray, Ollie and Jonny who expertly designed a counterweight which made their building indestructible! ⁠ In History a group of L6 students each put their case for the British Prime Minister they believe should be regarded as the greatest we’ve ever had. The premiers plucked from the realms of History ranged from the obligatory Churchill through to the undeservedly unknown Lord Salisbury. An open debate ensued with questions raining down from the audience - the results of both the judges’ vote and the public vote will be revealed at the start of next term! ⁠ #earthquakes⁠ #geography⁠ #history⁠ #greatestprimeminster⁠ #curiosity

Lower Sixth Form students recreated the Periodic Table out of homemade cookies. The final product was a fine example of teamwork and creativity. After the Periodic Table was made, the cookies were then sold in aid if The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Well done to all the students involved. ⁠ ⁠ All the students involved in Lower Sixth Form collaborated to construct a representation of the Periodic Table using cookies they made themselves. The end result showcased their exceptional teamwork and innovative thinking. The cookies were sold and the proceeds will support @royalmarsden Cancer Charity. ⁠ ⁠ #royalmarsden #periodictable #chemistry #science #compassion

With a huge thanks to @swiftsgolf Freddie Edmunds @wellington_golf and to all the staff @thespringsgolfclub for a brilliant few days. The players love the opportunity of regular, competitive 54-hole strokeplay events; win, lose or draw there is always fun had and things to learn. Well done to Reed’s A Finlay F, Matthew K, James B and James P for holding on for the team win! And to Harry H, Jasmine K, Josh J and Gryffyn S for the best-placed of the B teams! Everyone contributing! James B missed out on the individual for another 3rd place finish, but another classy showing. Onwards and upwards, @reeds.golf Club Champs and two day camp next week!

Under the pretence of exploring forces and fluid dynamics, U6th Physics students enjoyed a cracking evening at @ifly.basingstoke last week. Hani S, Josh H, Alice G, Oli W and Matthew P-J looked like they were born to fly! And to prove that you can teach old dogs new tricks, Mr Thompson donned the red suit and took to the tunnel in some style. As always, Physics was the winner! Big thank you to @reedsalumni OR Matthew Fergusson (Br 2019) who had prepared a presentation about his experience @uniofbath reading Aerospace Engineering during our downtime! Good luck to this brilliant cohort as they make their final preparations for the @cambridgeint examinations next term.

Good luck to the @reeds.golf teams today competing in the final day of the @swiftsgolf 54-hole @world_amateur_golf_rankings event at the wonderful @thespringsgolfclub. A great position after round one but with three scores counting from four over 36-holes today, lots of golf still to be played!
