King's School Canterbury
Reviews | News | Further Information In AD 597 St Augustine arrived in Canterbury to evangelize England. The tradition of education here is rooted in that event, as the Venerable Bede attests. The education provided by Canterbury's monastic foundation, but chiefly by the ancient School of the City of Canterbury, was in 1541 made the responsibility of the new Cathedral Foundation of Henry VIII. He established within it 50 King's Scholars and their two masters, of whom John Twyne, Headmaster of the Canterbury School, carried on as Principal. Thanks to the core of King's Scholars the School came to be known as the King's School.
