Reading School
On June 18th 1121 a delegation of eight monks from Cluny, France, arrived
in Reading to begin preparations for the foundation of a new Abbey. On
April 15th 1123, the first Abbot was appointed to oversee its construction,
and the Foundation Charter was signed at Rouen two years later. It is the
date of this Charter, 29 March 1125, that has been taken as the date for
the foundation of Reading School. The School is proud to find its roots
in the educational activities of the Abbey, which make Reading School the
10th oldest school in England.
