    THE OLD REDINGENSIAN Spring 2007 Henry VII King of England Benefactor of Reading School 1486 The Presidentʼs Letter I am delighted to have been accepted as President of the OR Association for 2007 and to contribute to the institution that is Reading School. In so doing, I am conscious that, whilst I have been a Council member for the last two years, I have been very much “in absentia” due to work commitments. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the membership and outline my thoughts upon our direction for this coming year. For background, I was a pupil at Reading School from 1978-85 and infl uenced by several Masters who are now pillars of OR life such as John Oakes, Bob Lewis and Mike Evans. I ended my time at the School as Captain of West House and Cadet RSM of the CCF. Commissioned into the Army in 1987, I have served all over the World and currently command 13 Air Assault Support Regiment, The Royal Logistic Corps, based in Colchester. We are part of the Air Assault Brigade and deployed on operations in Afghanistan last summer. I am married to Jackie and have two children, Adam who currently attends Colchester Royal Grammar School, and Gemma, who will start at the Colchester Girls High School (also a grammar) this September. In my time on the Council I have been impressed by is very positive about harnessing our support along the selfl essness and commitment of a determined with Governors, parents and the Foundation to realise band of Association members who organise and further benefi ts for the School.

  • Work with Us Our Story So Far…
    Work with us Our story so far… Candidate Information Pack Where we were Royal Berkshire Hospital (RBH) opened on 27th May 1839. The opening of the RBH was mainly to cope with numerous casualties during the construction of the Great Western railway, which at the time was forging its way towards Reading. The original hospital had 50 beds, and in the first five years 76 operations were performed - this was just prior to the discovery of anaesthesia (1846), and sterile surgery (1865). New wards were added to the original building in 1846 and 1850, and two new wings were built in 1861, followed by a third in 1912. The building, which is now the Berkshire Cancer Centre, included the King Edward VII Memorial Ward for children. Some nationally significant tiles in King Edward VII ward are still present today. During World War I, RBH remained a voluntary hospital, but also became a war hospital with more beds. In 1915, because of a meningitis epidemic, marquees were put on the back lawn to increase the bed numbers. Battle Hospital was designated as ‘War Hospital No. 1’. In 1967, the Maternity Unit was added to the site and services moved from Battle Hospital. Traditional long wards were replaced with bays, a model of care repeated with the addition of South Block in the 1970's. Early in the 21 st century, the two hospitals were consolidated; concluding with Battle Block in 2005. The old Battle Hospital closed in 2005, although the front gate house is listed and visible on the Oxford Road.
