145 Ashampstead Road, Southcote, RG30 3LJ

Community special school for ages 5–11 in Southcote. Mixed intake.

The Holy Brook School is a community special school in Reading for boys and girls aged 5 to 11. It is a very small specialist setting with special classes and provision for social, emotional and mental health needs.

Ofsted rated the school Good at its last full inspection (2014), an older inspection outcome. The school shares external feedback describing pupils as settled and secure and the setting as warm and nurturing; that is the school's own chosen framing rather than an inspection verdict. Free school meal eligibility is high, at 69%.
