Westminster School is in the abbey. Instruction has taken place since the 14th century with the monks of the abbey; the school regards its founder as Elizabeth I, who dissolved the monastery for the last time and provided for the establishment of the school,{{sfn|Jenkyns|2004|pp=56–57}} the dean, canons, assistant clergy, and lay officers.{{sfn|Trowles|2008|p=12}} The schoolboys were rambunctious; Westminster boys have defaced the Coronation Chair, disrupted services, and once interrupted the consecration of four bishops with a bare-knuckle fight in the cloisters.{{sfn|Jenkyns|2004|pp=56–57}} One schoolboy carved on the Coronation Chair that he had slept in it overnight, making him probably its longest inhabitant.{{sfn|Jenkyns|2004|p=65}} Westminster School became independent of the abbey Dean and Chapter in 1868, although the institutions remain closely connected.{{sfn|Trowles|2008|p=12}} Westminster Abbey Choir School, also on the abbey grounds, educates the choirboys who sing for abbey services.<ref>{{cite web |date=15 September 2017 |title=Making all the right noises: An Interview with Jonathan Milton, headmaster of the Westminster Abbey Choir School |url=http://www.kcwtoday.co.uk/2017/09/interview-jonathan-milton/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190110190946/http://www.kcwtoday.co.uk/2017/09/interview-jonathan-milton/ |archive-date=10 January 2019 |access-date=28 July 2018 |website=KCW Today }}</ref>
