Welcome to Thomas Reade Primary School. We are a school located in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. I am Lynsey Day, Headteacher, and I have the enormous privilege of working with an extraordinarily talented team of teachers and support staff who lead our children on a journey through their primary education.
Our children are very proud of their school and of all the things that make it so special. We are fortunate to have a superb outdoor space, a welcoming learning environment, strong links with partnership schools, a fun, engaging and broad curriculum and we are extremely proud of our sporting achievements.
We are committed to developing a coherent, flexible and enriched curriculum which raises aspirations, drives ambition and secures high standards in all areas. Our children, who are at the heart of every decision we make, are happy, resilient and confident learners for life. At Thomas Reade Primary School, we work together to enable children to reach their full potential.
We believe that close partnerships are key and we look forward to working together to ensure the best possible outcomes for our children.
