  • City of Westminster
    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.

  • 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.
