Waingels College (previously Waingels Copse School) is a co-educational comprehensive secondary school located in Woodley, Reading, Berkshire, UK. It has a population of 1,500 students but may rise due to overcrowding in the area and an appeals process which now has to take place. Over 400 people apply for entry annually, though there are only 270 places available (a rise from 240 in previous years). The school has specialist status as a Mathematics and Computing College.

Contents

The school recently won a grant of £29 million to perform a full school re-build.

In September 2006 the school was split into six main learning communities (or houses). Each learning community has its own colour and role model:
Astor - White
Rowling - Yellow
DaVinci - Blue
Holmes - Red
Turing - Black
Brunel - Green

The P.E. department at Waingels encourages students to take part in many extra-curricular sporting activities such as football. Their main rival is The Bulmershe School, located on the other side of Woodley, as it is a specialist Sports College.
