History of Our School

Sketch of Queen Anne by a Year 4 pupil.

Founded in 1988, the school is the youngest member of The Royal Free Foundation, a distinguished charitable foundation established in 1705 through the generosity of Queen Anne and Prince George of Denmark.

 The founding document signed in 1705, states that the purpose of the school was to educate the poor of Windsor as follows: 

That they may read, write, cast accounts and be well-instructed in the principle of religion.  

That they be furnished with Bibles or Common Prayer Book. 

That they be clothed in some sort or other. 

That they be placed out in the world afterwards.

The Royal Free Foundation remains a valued supporter of the school, providing dedicated funding each year. It also presents books to our new Foundation Stage children and Bibles to Year 4 pupils at the Leavers’ Service. These gifts symbolically mark the start and conclusion of a child’s time with us, fostering a lifelong appreciation of reading and encouraging reflection at key stages of their educational journey.
