The Andrew Reed Foundation is a historic educational charity that serves as the governing body for a small group of independent schools in Surrey. Established in 1813 by the Reverend Andrew Reed as the London Orphan Asylum, the Foundation remains deeply committed to its original mission of providing "Foundation places" for vulnerable children who have lost the support of one or both parents. Today, the group combines high-achieving academic environments with a significant outreach and bursary programme, overseeing both a leading senior boarding school and a co-educational preparatory school.
