Haywards Farm School
Reading, West Berkshire, South East · RG7 4AS
With just 13 pupils on roll, Haywards Farm School is among the smallest independent schools a family could consider, and that scale defines its character. This is an intimate, fee-paying setting in Reading, West Berkshire, where every child is known individually and teaching can be tailored closely to the pupil in front of it. Led by Head Miss Alexandra Walsh, the school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families drawn to a highly personal, almost family-sized environment, rather than the breadth of a large institution, are most likely to find it suits them.

Teaching & academics
As an ISI-inspected independent school, Haywards Farm operates outside the maintained sector and sets its own approach. With so few pupils, learning is necessarily close and individual, allowing staff to adapt to each child's pace. Parents wanting published performance data should request it directly, as none is provided here.
