A news co-educational housing block for Reddam House Berkshire is to be built to accommodate up to 100 pupils, Architects’ Journal has reported.

Architect company Haptic secured permission from Wokingham Council for the construction of the new building at the independent day and boarding school which caters for children from the ages of three months to 18 years.

The new building will contain 48 en suite twin rooms, as well as staff housing and internal and external amenity space.

The project forms part of a two-phase development which also involves refurbishing an existing accommodation building and creating a new residential courtyard.

An existing housing block, Drake House, was judged to be unsuitable to accommodate future growth in its current state, thought it will continue to house pupils during the construction of the new building and will then be remodelled as part of the second phase of development.

Reddam House Berkshire is owned by Inspired Education Group.
