In May 2026 Reed’s School announced its decision to move to becoming a fully co-educational school and that they are welcoming the already co-educational prep school Feltonfleet into the Reed’s family of schools. Reed’s School is delighted to be able to welcome girls to their First Form (Year 7) from September 2027 and Third Form (Year 9) from September 2029. Entry to the Sixth Form for girls and boys continues unchanged, with the next intake arriving in September 2026.
Why is Reed’s expanding its co-educational provision?
Reed’s was founded as a co-educational school for orphans in 1813 and only became single sex after the Second World War. Its co-educational Sixth Form has been heavily oversubscribed for many years. The outcomes at A-Level for the Upper Sixth pupils, boys and girls, have been excellent and feedback from both current and prospective parents has consistently been: “Why doesn’t Reed’s take girls at 11?”
With two successful co-educational preparatory schools now in the Foundation, the school believes this is the right time to make this change.
This follows similar changes by other London secondary schools, such as Westminster School, King’s College Wimbledon and Trinity School.
Will admission to Reed’s School change?
Reed’s has strong relationships with a wide range of prep and primary schools and we will continue to work with and welcome applications from all of these schools.
Reed’s will continue to offer places to pupils for 11+/13+ from any primary and prep school based on their ISEB exam results and our on-site interview days.
