Crosfields School is a single sex day school located in Reading, Berkshire in England for boys aged between 4 and 13. The years are from year 1 to year 8, with a single year in reception preceding year 1. It has around 450 pupils.
The Headteacher is Mr. Jonathan P. Wansey, who has been headmaster since 2000, having taken over from Mr. Frank Skipwith.
The school was founded in 1957 when it broke away from Leighton Park School, just down the road from the school towards Central Reading and Reading University. Its first headteacher was Mr. Roy Stillman. Classes first started in the old, converted Stable Block (now demolished). There was also the White Building which still exists as of 2006 which served as the Headmaster's office and other functions. The French teacher is Francis Odell.
On November 20, 2006, the Board of Governors decided that the school start teaching as a co-educational school. Girls will come in the Pre Prep starting in September 2007, and for the rest of the school, in September 2008.
