Welcome to Theale Green School

It is a great privilege to be the Headteacher of our wonderful community at Theale Green School. Theale Green School has a rich legacy, steeped in history from its beginnings as a grammar school, that has evolved, with our house system at the heart of our identity. Our students and families know they are important which builds a strong sense of belonging within our community; I am delighted that you are interested in finding out more about what we have to offer.  Although we are the fastest growing secondary school in West Berkshire, we have protected the family feel of our community by ensuring year group numbers remain small.

I know that selecting a school for your child is one of the most important choices to make, and I hope we can give you a flavour of our dynamic learning environment and our welcoming, inclusive community. We are a listening school and use our regular Headteacher & parent coffee mornings to give parents valuable insight and receive feedback to shape our community.

We know the classroom experience is the key to success, and I am proud of the happy, dedicated TGS staff who prioritise strong relationships with their students.  Our curriculum is based on the best current educational research available and designed to enable our students to thrive and achieve their personal best.  Our student destinations are testament to this, recent alumni include prestigious apprenticeships, top universities leading to careers in the film industry and global accountancy firms.

Theale Green School parents are clear that they chose our school confident that their child will be known, and supported, to becoming the unique and special person they have the potential to become. To quote a recent parental survey: “I have always felt that Theale Green is a school where students are encouraged to be who they want to be… Your school really does offer the students so much”.

2025 has seen our community strengthen and thrive more than ever, with many Theale Green School students joining having had their parents and grandparents come through the school. Our students are shining brighter than ever before and are rightly proud of their school.

We look forward to welcoming you to Theale Green School –  we know you will love it as much as we do.
