The school is set in 125 acres of wood and parkland, and is housed in a Victorian mansion, formerly Bearwood. The current Principal is Mrs T A M (Tammy) Howard. The school has around 500 students. The school offers day places as well as weekly and termly boarding for all ages. School HistoryBuildingReddam House was founded in 1827 as the Merchant Seaman In 1921, the school moved to Sindlesham near Wokingham, Berkshire into its present home in a Victorian mansion, Bearwood House.[2] In 1961, the school began to accept fee-paying students, whereupon it changed its name to Bearwood College. In 1995 the school became co-educational. In 2007 the preparatory school opened. In 2010 the school was given notice to quit the property following legal action and the allegation that the school was in arrears of rent.[3] The school was bought by the Reddam House group in 2014 and renamed Reddam House, Berkshire.[4] School BuildingsIn 1816, John Walter (1776–1847), owner of The Times newspaper, purchased the 5,000-acre (20 km2) estate on which the school is now located. His son, also John Walter (1818–1894), employed architect Robert Kerr to build a mansion in the grounds as his country seat. Erected 1865–74, it is one of the largest Victorian country houses in England. Nikolaus Pevsner described it as "the climax [of country mansions], and in its brazen way one of the major Victorian monuments of England". The bricks used in the building were made from clay extracted from what is now California Country Park, once part of the estate. A dam was constructed around the site and was then flooded to form the 47-acre (19 ha) Longmoor Lake. FacilitiesReddam House's facilities include a theatre, swimming pool, gymnasium and playing fields. These are used by a wide range of community groups, including the annual Opera at Bearwood. The Victorian mansion is also used for weddings and other public events. Reddam House on ScreenThe mansion has appeared in a number of television series, including The Last Viceroy (1986) and as the club 'Brydges', in the 2012 mini-series, Restless. The house also featured in the second episode of the second series of ITV's Endeavour titled 'Nocturne', and in episodes of Midsomer Murders. Reddam House Group of SchoolsReddam House Group was founded in 2000 by Graeme Crawford in Cape Town, South Africa. The group’s motto is Tutem te rebore reddam, meaning I will keep you safe by my strength. The motto has its origins in Scottish history, when the first Monarch of Crawford saved King David the First of Scotland from certain death by a stag during a hunting expedition. The Monarch’s Coat-of-Arms included the stag’s head as a symbol of his bravery. On marrying his wife, the Monarch included the fleur-de-lis in his Coat-of-Arms.
