EDF Energy Reference School
First-class facilities
Where state-of-the-art is tradition Our combination of heritage and modern facilities make for an inspirational learning environment that motivates our pupils and offers resources to support the development of their individual skills and talents. The Percival Library is a beautiful Grade II listed building dating back to 1870. It is home to more than 15,000 books and a digital library, as well as the Higher Education and Careers Hub and a multi-use seminar space. Another of our most cherished buildings is our elegant Grade II listed Chapel built in 1867, where generations of pupils have gathered to celebrate key events and milestones. The school was one of the first public schools to teach science and the College’s Science School dates back to 1927. It is fully resourced with the latest equipment and technology, has its own lecture theatre and its own library, the Stone Library, containing
periodicals as well as rare books and manuscripts. Specialised buildings, such as the Joseph Cooper Music School, the art studios and ceramics workshop, and the purpose-built 320 seat Redgrave Theatre, ensure our pupils have access to first-class facilities that enhance their educational experience. Our commitment to nurturing talent in sport is reflected by our internationalstandard sports facilities. The school’s impressive sports facilities total 90 acres, providing pupils with international-standard indoor and outdoor sports provision. This includes the Chellaram Sports Complex, which houses an eight court hall for netball, tennis, basketball and badminton amongst other sports, as well as a 60m2 indoor bouldering wall. We are also lucky to have a water-based hockey pitch and 3G rugby pitch, accompanied by a range of traditional courts including rackets and real tennis.

Parents are also invited to many of our school activities, and a full list of these termly events can be found here.
FAST Tutoring provision • Experienced, CNED recognised, qualified tutors support pupils while continuing part of their French education. • Pupils maintain a strong level of French and, where relevant, follow CNED or French curriculum-related studies alongside their UK education. • Working closely with families, pupils, tutors and schools to support the smooth integration of children into the British school system while maintaining their link with the French curriculum. • This can include French language, literature, mathematics, history-geography or other French curriculum support, depending on the needs of the pupil and the programme followed. • Lessons are integrated into the timetable to maximise the opportunities across the week. Providing a great balance of both curriculums.
