The Foundation was established by Charity Commissioners' Scheme in 1867 to use the income from the parish charities of St Dunstan in the East to maintain a school to be known as St Dunstan's College, Catford. The chairman of Sir John Cass's Foundation, Sir Owen Roberts, was also chairman of St Dunstan's Educational Foundation 1895-1915 and W H Davison was clerk to both Foundations. In 1901 the office of St Dunstan's moved from 10 Idol Lane to the new Sir John Cass's Foundation headquarters in Jewry Street.
