We are predominantly a day school with approximately 100 boarders spread throughout the year groups. Reed’s is situated in over forty acres of beautiful and secluded countryside in the outskirts of Cobham, Surrey. We benefit from excellent transport links by both rail (Oxshott Station is a ten-minute walk via a public footpath) and road. Central London is approximately thirty minutes away while the A3 is just a few minutes away, with direct links to London, Guildford and the M25. History Reed’s School was established in 1813 by the Reverend Dr Andrew Reed, a prominent philanthropist, congregational minister and social reformer, as a school for children who had lost one or both parents. Originally called the London Orphan Asylum and later the London Orphan School, Reed’s was a pioneering haven for the children it cared for, with the aim of providing them with the support, maintenance and education needed to break the cycle of poverty and, wherever possible, to keep families intact. Through his conviction and passion for social progress, Andrew Reed was able to enlist the support of the City of London, prominent members of society, and the Royal Family; that support continues to this day. Since its founding the School has always benefited from a Royal Patron and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is currently the School’s Royal Patron, having visited as recently as 2014, for the School’s Bicentenary. Although Reed’s has seen many changes during its 200 year history, the Charitable Foundation remains central to the School’s ethos today, instilling in our pupils – past and present – our core values of Integrity, Compassion, Curiosity, Resilience, Responsibility and Independence. 2 3 THE SCHOOL Campus and Facilities The purpose-built Music School is equipped with an ensemble space containing our beautiful new Steinway At the centre of our School Campus is a restored pianos, a state-of-the-art recording studio, a keyboard Edwardian Arts and Crafts building accommodating studio, high-tech composition rooms and a suite of the School Library, The Chapel, Societies Room, Dining practice spaces.

  • Reverend Andrew Reed
    10 facts about the Rev Andrew Reed (1787-1862) Today, marks the anniversary of the death of the Hospital’s founder, Rev Andrew Reed. To celebrate his life and contribution to the hospital, I compiled below a few facts about the great man himself to celebrate his association with the hospital. 1) Andrew Reed started work at the age of 15, he was an apprentice to his father’s watchmaking business. However, Reed was more drawn towards the church and entered Hackney College, an independent theological seminary, in 1807. He was ordained Minister of the New Road Chapel on his 24th birthday and remained a minister for over fifty years until having to step down due to infirmity. 2) Andrew Reed, the non-conformist: Andrew Reed’s life was driven by faith. His family greatly encouraged his pursuit of religion with his father taking early retirement in order to pursue itinerant preaching with Andrew across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Later in life, due to his religious convictions he had to resign from the Board of the Infant Orphan Asylum when the Board introduced the Church of England catechism for the teaching if religious education. 3) His doctorate came from Yale University: Reed visited America, in 1834, as part of a delegation of two ministers from the Congregational Union of England and Wales to visit the churches of that denomination in the United States. Whilst visiting he was honoured with the degree of D.D. [Doctor of Divinity] by Yale University by Yale University. 4) Andrew Reed, the social and political reformer: Reed promoted various causes to promote social justice and liberalism, including black emancipation movement; the repeal of the Corn Laws and abolition of church rates (a tax levied on all parishioners for the upkeep of churches).

Inside back cover EDITORIAL This issue has an educational aspect. Each year Reports to Assembly include reports from six schools - Caterham, Eltham College, Silcoates, Taunton, Walthamstow Hall, and Wentworth College (as it is now called). That these are not the sum total of Congregationalism's contribution to independent education is made clear in Alan Argent's article. Although links with the United Reformed Church are now slender (they might be described as pleasant but formal), origins cannot be wished away. In the past year Taunton and Wentworth College have produced attractive histories. The current General Secretary of the United Reformed Church is an Old Silcoatian; an investigative journalist noted, in the course of the last election, that the wives of Paddy Ashdown, the late Harold Wilson, and Neil Hamilton, were past pupils of Wentworth Milton Mount.

The charitable will value that last clause's sophistication. Others will find it plain slovenly. It exemplifies that easy ignorance of the broadsheet classes which Elaine Kaye's For the Work of Ministry (reviewed here by David Comick) is calculated to dispel. Colleges figure in this issue: Highbury's Anglican afterlife, New College's birth, early twentieth­ century blues at Cheshunt (on the eve of its own Anglican afterlife), different times, different places, different personalities, but markedly similar issues. Death and far horizons also contribute.

  • 1) Healthcare and Philanthropy
    How Christianity Changed the World: Biblical Christianity’s Impact on Healthcare and Philanthropy This article is the fourth of five papers under the general heading of ‘How Christianity Changed the World’. They are adapted from a series of talks given by the author at Word Alive in April 2019. She has given us permission to publish all five in this and subsequent issues of the Bulletin. Christian Focus are releasing Sharon’s book on this theme in March 2021: https://www.christianfocus.com/products/2954/how- christianity-transformed-the-world This series of articles offers some snapshots from history to demonstrate that the world has been changed immeasurably for the better because of the life and witness of Christ’s followers. In this fourth article we see that Christians through history and today are in the forefront of providing healthcare and other humanitarian reforms for a world in great need of such. The God of mercy has compassion on all he has made, and his followers have been at the forefront of efforts to relieve suffering and need. The West has a strong tradition of philanthropy that has created a culture of giving and sharing that is unmatched in any other civilisation in history. The parable of the Good Samaritan has been described as the parable that changed the world. The whole Bible bears witness to the reality that our triune God is a God of mercy and compassion. He is the God who is gracious, full of compassion, slow to anger, great in mercy, and good to all (Psalm 145:8-9).
