Maiden Erlegh Trust - Spotlight on Hamilton School
Maiden Erlegh Trust have published the first in a new series of School Spotlights! This is what they said about Hamilton School:
"All of our schools are wonderful, but we're starting with Hamilton School because next week, on Thursday 30 January, they are hosting the first ever Hamilton School Open Evening from 3:00pm to 5:00pm! PLUS, from September they will be welcoming female students for the first time.
Spotlight on Hamilton School — Leading the Way in SEMH Education
Hamilton School in Reading is a place of education, growth and opportunity dedicated to supporting young people with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Established in 2018, the school has quickly become a trusted resource for families and a key part of the educational landscape for students requiring specialist support. It is an important part of the Maiden Erlegh Trust (MET), a community of 9 schools spanning primary, secondary, specialist and alternative provision.
Why Hamilton School Stands Out
- Expert SEMH Provision: Hamilton offers a tailored approach to education, ensuring that every student receives the support they need to thrive, overcome challenges and make meaningful progress.
- Fostering Growth and Confidence: By celebrating individual achievements, the school helps students build resilience and develop essential life skills, setting them up for success beyond the classroom.
- A Purpose-Built School Site: In 2022, Hamilton moved to a modern facility on Bulmershe Road in Reading, designed to meet the needs of its learners. The building has been recognised nationally for its excellence, reflecting the school’s commitment to providing a high-quality learning environment.
- A dedicated team: Hamilton School’s mission is to recognise each and every one of our students as individuals, and to nurture their potential, developing the whole child by challenging and supporting them, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. This fantastic work is delivered by a fantastic team dedicated to nurturing and supporting the young people of Hamilton School.
What’s New for 2025
Hamilton School is hosting its first-ever Open Evening on 30 January 2025, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The event offers families a chance to explore the school, meet its dedicated staff, and learn more about its specialist provision. Head Teachers are warmly invited to attend too.
The school is also expanding its offer and from September 2025, Hamilton will welcome female students for the first time. This significant step reflects its commitment to inclusivity and meeting the needs of a wider community.
Hamilton School is dedicated to empowering students to overcome barriers, thrive academically, and grow into confident, capable individuals. Its focus on personalised support makes it a vital choice for families seeking the best for their children."
