Location

Padworth College is ideally located in the hamlet of Padworth, close to the university town of Reading. With 12 acres, our students are surrounded by beautiful countryside and clean air.

Housed in a former historic country estate with majestic views of the natural landscape of West Berkshire, Padworth Summer School is the perfect setting for a calm learning environment.

Padworth Summer School is easily accessible by road or rail. The nearest train stations are Aldermaston (7 minutes) and Theale (10 minutes). Trains from these stations travel directly to Reading (15 minutes) and then onto London Paddington (a further 28 minutes), where connections are available to multiple destinations.

By road, we are easily accessible via the M4 motorway and then the M4.

The closest airport is London Heathrow, about 40 minutes by car, although other airports are well connected.
