We know little yet about this school.

The earliest record yet found was in the 1830 Pigot's Berkshire Directory advertised it as "Eliza and Jane Westall's ladies' boarding and day school, High Street".

This was probably at 25 High Street. Eliza Westall paid £800 for the lease in 1827. It seems the school was taken over by John Hives in by 1841 when he ran it as John Hives Gents Boarding School.
