Hello, can anyone here please offer recent experience of either of these schools in Berkshire? I am struggling to choose between the two, they are both very different and DS, who will start in year 5, likes them both. Thank you.

No idea about either school. But there was a group from the Dolphin school at Blists Hill Victorian town yesterday. All very well behaved. And their mini buses were very smart!

We are currently facing exact same dilemma! The commute to reddam is also a slight issue, looming at 30 minutes with a 3 and 5 year old as well as a baby who will need to be dragged along for the ride!

Which did you decide on?

The traffic around Wokingham area is really very bad, and there are constant roadworks, which is worth taking into account when doing school runs. The volume of traffic is huge, and getting worse because so many houses have been built in the past few years. Relatively small journeys can take a ridiculously long time.
See if there are any school bus routes near you; if you have small children the commute will be pretty tough on them.

We decided on Reddam House mainly because Dolphin only goes up to 13. So far traffic is ok, takes us max 20 mins max.
