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. This has been paired with a good relationship and liaison TOP: Architect’s vision of the extension with the Borough Council on the best possible solutions for local residents and regular communication via newsletter to the MIDDLE: The sixth form centre we previously delivered for the school community.

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).

The Best Education London Has to Offer
A FINE START YOUR GUIDE TO THE BEST SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES IN LONDON THE BEST EDUCATION LONDON HAS TO OFFER Nurseries, schools and universities are not in short supply in Chelsea and Fulham. With London being recognised as a leading global centre for higher education, St George developments in West London have easy access to the local area’s best schools and the City’s many prestigious universities, providing a sound investment for children and the future. At primary level, schools like Thomas’s Battersea and Kensington Prep School offer children a well‑rounded education with Ofsted ratings of outstanding and excellent. Thomas’s Battersea’s most recent claim to fame is the arrival of Prince George as a student and with exceptional teaching staff and extensive facilities Thomas’s has very quickly become a popular school for boys and girls aged between 4‑13. Children tend to go on to equally prestigious schools like Eton, Harrow and Westminster. The range of local secondary schools is also impressive. There’s Godolphin & Latymer – a school praised as much for the niceness of their pupils as for their academic ability. St. Paul’s Girls’ School, meanwhile, is renowned for its musical department and academically, children perform highly with, on average, half the class feeding into Oxford and Cambridge and some of London’s world renowned universities such as King’s College and London School of Economics. Chelsea Creek is not only a stunning place to live, but offers a complete lifestyle and a way into some of the best education London has to offer.
