Edgbarrow School

The school is committed to an inclusive community that strives to provide an education opening doors to success and happiness. The school community is guided by the values of being 'Ready, Respectful, Safe and Positive,' which underpin the school's behaviour and rewards system. The strategic vision focuses on challenging students to achieve their best, fostering well-rounded young adults, and ensuring equality and opportunity for all.

The school follows the National Curriculum at Key Stage 3, with flexible options at Key Stage 4 and Post-16. Core subjects include English, Mathematics, Science, and Philosophy, Ethics & Religion, alongside a broad range of options such as Art, Business, Criminology, Design Technology, Drama, Geography, History, IT, Languages, Music, PE, Psychology, and Sociology. The Sixth Form offers a comprehensive programme of A-Levels and Level 3 vocational qualifications, including subjects like Law, Film Studies, and Travel & Tourism.

The school features a 'Progress' department that provides targeted interventions for students with moderate or specific learning difficulties, as well as emotional, social, behavioural, and communication needs. This support may include tailored literacy, numeracy, or social support, and the school manages access arrangements for examinations to ensure students can demonstrate their knowledge despite specific difficulties.

Admissions are managed through Bracknell Forest Council, with the school acting as a preference on the local authority application. The school serves a designated catchment area and publishes specific admission arrangements, including oversubscription criteria, for each academic year. In-year applications for students moving to the area are also processed via the local authority.

The school operates a term-based calendar with specific dates for grade reports, induction days, and enrichment activities. The academic year includes scheduled breaks, and the school provides digital calendar feeds for parents and students to track events such as exams, trips, and school-wide activities.

Located in Crowthorne, Berkshire, the school site includes a reception area, classrooms, and a dedicated sports complex available for hire. The campus also houses a library and various departmental facilities to support the curriculum, including science labs and creative arts spaces.

Students have access to a wide range of co-curricular activities, including sports clubs and teams, creative and performing arts, and various departmental after-school clubs. The school also offers the Duke of Edinburgh's Award at Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels. Educational visits are integrated into the programme to support personal development and classroom learning.
