- Blessed by George IV, the school’s first royal patron, in 1815, Reed’s has had various incarnations and locations, from London to Devon. It has been in its current home in the Surrey countryside since 1946.
- In 1958 Reed’s became a boys-only, fee-paying school. Before then it was a foundation school where pupils were all on bursaries, mostly from City of London companies.
- Today the school has about 700 day pupils and 100 full-time boarders, and admits girls in the sixth form. Its ample grounds offer outstanding sports facilities including an indoor cricket centre, extensive rugby and cricket pitches and a sports centre with squash courts, a gym and a 25-metre pool.
- Music also plays a big role at Reed’s. Year 7 pupils learn a string instrument, and every boy in Year 8 is taught the trombone. About a third of pupils take additional instrument lessons and one in five is in the choir, which rehearses weekly in the school’s chapel.
- Notable alumni include the tennis player Tim Henman and the actor Tom Hardy.
