Reading School from 1912 to the present
Presented by Ken Brown and Chris Widdows
Join two venerated Old Redingensians as they take the audience on a whistlestop tour of key moments in Reading School’s more recent history, beginning in 1912. The talk will cover the origins of the present house system, the absorption of Kendrick Boys’ School, the First World War, Headmaster Keeton’s reign and his succession by Headmaster Kemp, coping with the Second World War, the 1944 Education Act, the closure of the Junior School, the Quincentenary celebrations, and the evolution of Reading School into what it is today.
Ken Brown is an Old Redingensian (1955-1963) and Old Redingensians Association Archivist.
Chris Widdows is an Old Redingensian (1955-1962) and the Old Redingensians Association Membership Secretary.
