Established in 2017 to mark the School’s 350th anniversary, the Read School Foundation supports major capital projects, educational initiatives, and financial assistance programmes. Recent projects have included the Saddler Music Centre, new Sports Hall flooring and most recently, a full renovation of the front field.
As Read School approaches its 360th anniversary in 2027 – a remarkable milestone, we invite our Draxonian community to join us in shaping the next chapter. Our goal is to raise money to fund a number of Draxonian Association scholarships and bursaries, opening doors for future generations of Draxonians. Together, we can celebrate 360 years of tradition by investing in 360 futures – benefitting generations of pupils to come
Every gift – large or small – helps Read School remain a place of excellence, inclusion, and opportunity.
To discuss legacy giving or scholarship support, please contact the Head in school on head@readschool.co.uk or thomlinson@readschool.co.uk (President of the DA)
Together, we can ensure that the next generation of Draxonians thrives.
