Since its foundation in Caversham in 1894, as the younger sister of Grey Coat Hospital in London, Queen Anne’s School has shown a remarkable ability to retain the loyalty of pupils, parents, staff, governors and also of headmistresses, with only five of them covering the entire first century of its life. The book will be of obvious interest to Old Girls who will discover the origins of school traditions such as the links with Westminster Abbey. But it will also have a wider appeal to those who are interested in the Westminster Foundation, which dates back to the late 17th century.
