St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Headteacher: Mrs. K Husain Deputy Headteacher: Dr. N Fernandes Viana Jesus said: ‘I have come that they may have life and have it to the full’. Dear Parents, 2nd November 2018 Thank you to all the parents who attended the Funding Update meetings in school on Tuesday. The school has been one of the lowest funded primary schools in Westminster for several years. However, the recent funding changes because of the new National Funding Formula, the fall in primary age children in Westminster in recent years and the increased costs faced by all schools have fundamentally changed the financial position of the school. To maintain the current enriched curriculum and to provide the best education for the children that we can, we rely on your financial help and ask for. Your financial support currently takes two forms. Firstly, the fundraising of the School Association, this is still very strong: in 2017/18 they raised approximately £130,000. For this we are grateful, and long may it continue. Secondly, contributions to the Governors’ Fund. This has dropped by over 40% in recent years. Considering the recent funding changes and costs pressures we are asking all parents to consider donating monthly to the Governors’ fund or increase the amount they currently donate. Monthly contributions will provide Governors’ with a certainty to plan. We are looking to target annual contributions of £200,000 to the fund which is a £160,000 increase from the current level. I must stress that any contributions are voluntary, and all funds received are used for the benefit of all the children at the school. Please consider what you can afford and donate. Taking account of potential tax benefit the school receives on donations the target figure equates to around £50 per pupil per month. It is understood that not everyone will be able to contribute, and others will be able to donate much more than £50 per month so please contribute what you can. The bank details for standing orders are shown below and a copy of the full presentation is available on the ‘Donate’ page of the school website. We will follow up over the coming weeks with updates on the target, further information from the meetings and useful information around payroll giving/gift aid. Once you have set up a standing order please e-mail the school at [email protected] so that they can ensure that the funds are received and track where we stand with the target. WRCDT-St Joseph’s School Governor’s Fund Account Sort Code: 16-01-09 Acc. No.: 00263398 I know that the community of St Joseph’s will support the leadership of the school and provide the certainty in funding that will allow further development of the school. Thank you for your support. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for further information Andrew Heffernan Chair of Governors.

Character Overview Westminster Has 56 Designated Conservation Areas
Westminster’s Conservation Areas - Character Overview Westminster has 56 designated conservation areas which cover over 76% of the City. These cover a diverse range of townscapes from all periods of the City’s development and their distinctive character reflects Westminster’s differing roles at the heart of national life and government, as a business and commercial centre, and as home to diverse residential communities. A significant number are more residential areas often dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraced housing but there are also conservation areas which are focused on enclaves of later housing development, including innovative post-war housing estates. Some of the conservation areas in south Westminster are dominated by government and institutional uses and in mixed central areas such as Soho and Marylebone, it is the historic layout and the dense urban character combined with the mix of uses which creates distinctive local character. Despite its dense urban character, however, more than a third of the City is open space and our Royal Parks are also designated conservation areas. Many of Westminster’s conservation areas have a high proportion of listed buildings and some contain townscape of more than local significance. Below provides a brief summary overview of the character of each of these areas and their designation dates. The conservation area audits and other documentation listed should be referred to for more detail on individual areas. 1. Adelphi The Adelphi takes its name from the 18th Century development of residential terraces by the Adam brothers and is located immediately to the south of the Strand. The southern boundary of the conservation area is the former shoreline of the Thames.

Irina Porter, Uncovering Kilburn's History: Part 7
Uncovering Kilburn’s History – Part 7 Thank you for joining me again for the final part of this Kilburn local history series. 1. New flats in Cambridge Road, opposite Granville Road Baths, c.1970. (Brent Archives online image 10127) In Part 6 we saw the major rebuilding that took place, particularly in South Kilburn, between the late 1940s and the 1970s. Many of the workers on the building sites were Irish. The new wave of Irish immigration to Northwest London, which reached its peak in the 1950s, was quickly transforming the area. As well as abundant work, Kilburn offered plenty of cheap accommodation, and a bustling High Road with cultural and eating establishments, many of them catering for the Irish population, who soon represented a majority in the area. ‘County Kilburn’ was dubbed Ireland’s 33rd county. 2. Kilburn's Irish culture – an Irish Festival poster and Kilburn Gaels hurling team. (From the internet) The Irish community, close-knit and mutually supportive, hit the headlines in the negative way in the 1970s, when Kilburn became a focal point for “the Troubles” in London. On 8 June 1974, an estimated 3,000 came out onto the streets of Kilburn for the funeral procession of Provisional IRA member Michael Gaughan. An Irishman, who had lived in Kilburn, Gaughan was imprisoned for an armed bank robbery in 1971 and in 1974 died as the result a hunger strike. Gaughan’s coffin, accompanied by an IRA guard of honour, was taken from the Crown at Cricklewood through Kilburn to the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in Quex Road, before being flown to Dublin for another ceremony and funeral.

St John's Wood
St John’s Wood Area Guide St John’s Wood lies within the City of Westminster in the North West London. Once part of the Great Middlesex Forest, the area was one of the first London suburbs to be developed from the early 19th century onwards, mainly with low density “villa” type housing. St. John’s Wood was once part of the Great Forest of Middlesex, its name derived from its mediaeval owners, the Knights of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. After the Reformation and the Dissolution of monastic orders, St John’s Wood became Crown land, and Henry VIII established Royal Hunting Grounds in what became known as Marylebone Park, to the north of which lay St John’s Wood. The area remained in agricultural use until the end of the eighteenth century, when plans for residential development first appeared. Building began in 1809 in Alpha Road, on the southern boundary of St John’s Wood. One of the first London suburbs to be developed, it was a unique pattern of development and mainly planned with a large amount of low density, semi-detached villas, abandoning the familiar terraced house. Although many of the original houses and gardens disappeared during the twentieth century, through bomb damage and the building of new roads, railways and schools, much of the original character of the area remains. In the 1960s, most of St John’s Wood was designated a Conservation Area and its houses listed by English Heritage. It remains a highly desirable residential location, and one of the most expensive areas of London.

Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey Civic Service attended in Civic State by The Lord Mayor of Westminster Councillor Audrey Lewis and Councillors of the City of Westminster Sunday 6 th July 2014 11.00 am THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER Westminster first achieved the status of a city in 1540 when, for only ten years, it became a bishopric. Its first recorded civic administration dates from 1585, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when an Act authorised the establishment of a Court of Burgesses ‘for the good government of the City of Westminster’. While Queen Elizabeth I was creating mayors elsewhere in England, she was concerned that a mayor in Westminster might challenge the authority of the monarch in her own capital city, and she therefore appointed instead the High Steward of Westminster Abbey as Chairman of her newly created Court of Burgesses. The first High Steward to chair the new Court of Burgesses was the Queen’s First Minister, William Cecil, Lord Burleigh. The Court of Burgesses was an administrative body which dealt with public health and morality, planning permissions, the prevention and punishment of crime, and the regulation of weights and measures. It comprised twelve Burgesses appointed by the Dean—one for each ward. However, when the London Government Act of 1899 created twenty-eight Metropolitan Borough Councils, each having an elected Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors, the authority of the Dean and the High Steward in secular affairs ceased. The last High Steward who was also effectively Mayor was Lord Salisbury, who was then also Prime Minister. The Duke of Norfolk was the first Mayor of Westminster.
