  • Lady Margaret School
    Lady Margaret School Project Overview Lady Margaret School, based in Parsons Green, south west London, is a successful and popular secondary school for girls. In order to meet an increasing demand for places, the school requires extra facilities and creative solutions to increase its Year 7 entry from a three to four class intake. The school was keen to bring us on board to work with them as we had successfully delivered their multi purpose 6th form centre in 2010. During this project, we were mindful of the school and its community’s needs, ensuring minimum disruption while working in a live environment which included Grade II listed buildings. Educational Development With every opportunity to expand comes the opportunity to enhance. By creating new facilities above the existing classrooms, we are able to infill and optimise the use of space in-between buildings. This creates the opportunity for extra classrooms as well as open-plan study areas and flexible learning spaces. The programme will also improve the social spaces, circulation and accessibility across the school, as well as enlarging and enhancing its dining facilities for students. Working in a Live Environment Working in any educational institute poses considerable challenges. At Lady Margaret School, safety is of paramount importance throughout the project. A phased approach has been undertaken to ensure minimal disruption possible. In particular, main constructing builds, such as the infilling between the existing buildings, take place during school holidays. We recognise in school communities that site access is particularly sensitive. We have ensured minimal disruption to the local area by scheduling deliveries before and after the school day.

    Westminster Abbey A Service to celebrate the Centenary of Lady Margaret School Tuesday 17 th October 2017 Noon The hands of Lady Margaret Beaufort’s effigy on her tomb; the work of Pietro Torrigiano (1472 –1528). ‘Every one that knew her loved her, and everything that she said or did became her.’ St John Fisher (1469–1535) HISTORICAL NOTE Lady Margaret School has its origins in Whitelands College School, founded in 1842. In 1917, the original school was threatened with closure, but due to the strenuous efforts of Enid Moberly Bell, her friends, and the staff of the school, a substantial number of the pupils were ‘rescued’ and Lady Margaret School came into being in September of that same year. Miss Moberley Bell remained Headteacher for the next thirty years. The school takes its name from Lady Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby (1443–1509) the mother of Henry VII, whence the choice of the Tudor Rose as the school’s emblem. Lady Margaret Beaufort was founder of St John’s and Christ’s Colleges, Cambridge. Lady Margaret Hall, the first women’s college at Oxford University, is also named after her. She is buried here in Westminster Abbey. The first school building was Belfield House, Parsons Green, the oldest of the three houses which form part of the present school. In 1937, a second house was purchased, but before long war broke out and the school was evacuated to Midhurst in Sussex. The school re-opened in 1943 and in 1947 became a two-form entry grammar school under the leadership of Florence Elsie Marshall (1947–71).

  • UWGC-Chief-Executive-And-Clerk-Candidate-Brief
    A Message from the Chairman Thank you very much for your interest in the role of Chief Executive and Clerk of the United Westminster and Grey Coat Foundation (UWGCF) in succession to the current Clerk who will retire at the end of this year. Until very recently the United Westminster Schools Foundation (UWS) and the Grey Coat Hospital Foundation (GCHF) were separate charities, with separate boards of trustees, which were administered by the same Foundation Office. On 31 March 2019 UWS and GCHF formally merged to become UWGCF with a single board of trustees. This creates an education charity of significant size and presents an extremely exciting opportunity for the Foundation in the years to come. We are looking for someone who is not only able to put forward strategies for Trustees to consider, but also to ensure that the current five schools are supported to help them continue to achieve excellence. These changes do not presage a change in the relationship with the Foundation’s schools; each school will retain its existing autonomy under the leadership of its respective Governing Body. The merger does, however, present opportunities to manage its endowments more effectively and to consider ways in which it can promote public benefit in a more focused and co-ordinated way than was possible before. The responsibilities of the Chief Executive and Clerk and the ideal candidate are described in this pack. You will note that the title of the post has been changed to reflect not only the traditional understanding of the term ‘Clerk’ in the field of education and other charitable organisations, but also to encompass the wide responsibility for all the executive functions of the office.
