The Green Girls' School was a charity school in Reading, Berkshire, South East England. Established in 1782, its mission was to provide a basic education for girls from working class backgrounds and to prepare them for a life of domestic service. Its pupils were trained in household skills, 'to do plain work and to cook, wash and iron'. The school's name is believed to have been derived from the green uniforms worn by its pupils. Having started life in St Mary's Butts, the school moved to premises in Broad Street between 1792 and 1884, and relocated to between 1884 and 1922, when it eventually closed.
