CHAPLAIN (For September 2021) CHAPLAIN (for September 2021) Characteristics of the School Westminster School is a selective day and boarding school for boys aged 13 to 18 and girls aged 16 to 18. There are approximately 760 pupils in all: 360 (boys only) in the Lower School (Years 9 to 11); and a co-educational (one third girls, two thirds boys) Upper School (Years 12 and 13) of 400. One quarter of the pupils board, and the School is structured and run as a boarding school, with an extended day and week and a strong House-based system of pastoral welfare, for boarding and day pupils alike. Westminster is an ancient school, whose origins can be traced to a charity school established by the Benedictine monks of Westminster Abbey. Its continuous existence is certain from the early 14th century. Henry VIII personally ensured the School’s survival by statute and Elizabeth I, who confirmed royal patronage in 1560, is celebrated as the School’s foundress. Westminster is rare amongst long-established schools in remaining on its original site in the centre of London. Its proximity to Parliament and Westminster Abbey, and the use of the Abbey for its chapel, together with the stimulating diversity of the South Bank and West End, account in part for its special atmosphere and outlook. The School aims to be one of the foremost centres of academic excellence both in this country and internationally. Central to its academic ethos is the dialogue between teachers and their pupils, whether in the classroom or in tutorials, inspiring enjoyment of intellectual enquiry, debate and search for explanation and the development of skills of rational, independent thought well beyond any standard examination syllabus. The desired environment is happy, busy and purposeful; the pupils are intellectually, socially, ethically and politically engaged, with plenty of opportunities to develop initiatives and to articulate and defend their views, in line with the enduring values of the liberal tradition reflected in the School’s Charter. That tradition is fully committed also to the nurture of each pupil’s spiritual, moral, emotional and physical development and wellbeing - with a particular emphasis on drawing out individual talent wherever it lies - and to the preparation of young people for fulfilled private and public lives beyond school. The Post The Chaplain will be an experienced Anglican priest who is prayerful, pastoral and enjoys working with young people as part of an academically-selective school (13-18) and wider religious community within the precincts of Westminster Abbey. The Chaplain plays a key role in the School community. Reporting to the Head Master, they also work closely with members of the Senior Management Committee, specifically the Under Master and Deputy Head (Co-curriculum, Events and Planning), Housemasters, Director of Music, Heads of Year, Matrons, School Counsellor, and pupils of all genders in maintaining and developing the spiritual life of the School. Liaison with staff and clergy at Westminster Abbey, where a great many of the School’s services take place, is also an important part of the role; as is a willingness to take an interest in the wider school community of parents, alumni, and partner schools and organisations. The Chaplain meets twice-termly with the Head Master for a formal discussion about all aspects of the Chaplain’s work and their perspective on school matters. In order to facilitate the Chaplain’s work, accommodation may be available. The Spiritual Life of the School – Worship The Chaplain will • Take responsibility for and lead where appropriate the worshipping life of the School in Westminster Abbey, including two weekly services for the whole School and special annual services, including carol, confirmation, commemoration and leavers’ services • Identify and invite speakers for Abbey (staff, pupils and visitors) to deliver talks in response to specific events or needs • Provide editorial assistance to staff and pupils who offer to speak in Abbey • Arrange and lead Compline in St Faith’s (a chapel in the Abbey) for each of the boarding houses on a rota basis • Support mid-week Latin Prayers for year groups in the School Chapel or in the School’s main hall • Lead Evensong in the School Chapel once or twice a term, giving a short homily and arranging for pupils to read and pray • Preside at the voluntary School Eucharist in the School Chapel or in Henry VII (the Lady Chapel of the Abbey), arranging for staff and pupils to read, pray, intercede and help with administration • Liaise with the Director of Music about music for all services • Script all the service sheets used for services by the School and arrange for the printing by the Head of Reprographics • Liaise with the Deputy Head Co-curriculum, Events and Planning and the Dean’s PA about putting services in the Almanack (the School’s calendar) • Liaise with the Master of the Queen’s Scholars about services in the Abbey involving the Scholars – Sunday Eucharists twice a term and the annual Induction, Commemoration and Service of Remembrance • Liaise with Abbey staff including the Dean’s Verger, Head Beadle and the Head of Visitor Experience about arrangements for services in the Abbey • Liaise with a chaplain from Westminster Cathedral to arrange RC Mass twice a term in the School Chapel or in the Shrine of Westminster Abbey. • Arrange occasional services including baptisms, weddings, blessings after a civil marriage, memorial services, funerals, internment of ashes, either in the School or, exceptionally, in the Abbey • Arrange occasional services of remembrance in the Chapel or devise other ways in which pupils may be supported in times of loss • Liaise with the Senior Minor Canon and the chaplains of Grey Coat Hospital School and Westminster City School about the annual schools’ confirmation service in the Abbey • Attend rehearsals for the annual Commemoration service in the Abbey in November. • Identify, brief and rehearse readers and speakers for all services in the Abbey, notably the Carol Service • Negotiate and manage a budget • Support and promote charitable events • Organise and account cash collections Pastoral Care The Chaplain will • Promote and support the pastoral welfare and safeguarding of pupils and staff • Take responsibility for the spiritual and moral development of pupils and staff • Commend and encourage acts of kindness, compassion and charity, encouraging individuals to develop responsible moral attitudes • Offer annual Confirmation preparation to pupils and staff, including a visit to a retreat centre (such as Alton Abbey) or pilgrimage • Organise an annual retreat or pilgrimage for pupils and staff • Offer marriage preparation to couples intending to marry in the School Chapel • Organise Chaplain’s Breakfast before school on Wednesdays or a similar opportunity for the discussion of current events, philosophical or ethical issues from a Christian perspective • Support pupil initiatives to promote and explore Christian perspectives • Liaise with a parent coordinator to organise the twice termly staff parent prayer group • Organise a weekly staff prayer group • Meet weekly with the Under Master, and regularly with the School Counsellor and Under Master, to discuss staff and pupil welfare • Attend and contribute to the work of the School’s Safeguarding team Wider Church responsibilities The Chaplain will • Obtain a licence from the Bishop of London • Participate in the local Deanery, attending Chapter meetings when these do not conflict with School commitments • Attend diocesan clergy conferences • Keep their church safeguarding credentials up to date • Assist with services in the Abbey at the invitation of the Dean of Westminster Abbey Teaching The Chaplain will • Teach in an academic department which may or may not be Theology and Philosophy.

  • Admissions and Awards Policy
    ADMISSIONS AND AWARDS POLICY Author: Guy Hopkins Lead: Deputy Head (Academic) Date: October 2019 Review Date: December 2021 1 ADMISSIONS AND AWARDS POLICY Westminster School is a School with ancient origins tracing back to 1179 when the Benedictine monks of Westminster Abbey were required by Pope Alexander III to provide a small charity School. The School owes its survival during the dissolution of the monasteries to the intervention of Henry VIII by statute to preserve the school, and to the Royal patronage conferred by his daughter Elizabeth I when she granted the College its Royal Charter in 1560. The School has throughout its history provided boarding and day education for boys, and to this day remains predominantly a boys’ school. However, girls were first formally admitted to the School in 1973 and today up to 70 girls are admitted at 16+ for A Level, both boarding and day. AIMS • To ensure compliance with the School’s charitable object as a Public School for Young Persons, Westminster provides independent education for young persons, namely boys between the ages of 13 and 18 and girls between the ages of 16 and 18. • To set selection criteria and procedures that are consistent with this charitable object and fair to applicants. • To identify applicants whose academic and other abilities appear to match the ethos and standards of the School and whose personal qualities suggest they have the potential to contribute sufficiently to the School community and benefit from the many opportunities that are offered here. RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADMISSIONS The Head Master is responsible for admissions and for the operation of this policy.

  • 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.

  • Chapter III - the Gownboy of the Charterhouse
    John Wesley the Methodist Chapter III - The Gownboy of the Charterhouse A Friendly Duke.--The Charterhouse School--John's School Days.-- The Epworth Ghost.--The Brothers at Westminster. MRS. WESLEY gives a characteristic glimpse of her boy John in a letter to her husband in London in 1712: "Jack has bore his disease bravely, like a man, and indeed like a Christian, without any complaint, though he seerfled angry at the small pox when they were sore, as we guessed by his looking sourly at them, for he never said anything." When John was a child his father once said to him: "Child, you think to carry everything by dint of argument; but you will find how very little is ever done in the world by close reason." "Very little indeed," was John's comment in after years. Mrs. Wesley trained the children to refuse food between meals, and little John's characteristic and polite reply to all kindly offers was, "I thank you; I will think of it." "One pictures John Wesley at Epworth," wrote the present rector, Dr. Overton, "as a grave, sedate child, always wanting to know the reason of everything, one of a group of remarkable children, of whom his sister Martha was most like him in appearance and character; each of them with a strong individuality and a very high spirit, but all well kept in hand by their admirable mother, all precise and rather formal, after the manner of their day, in their language and habits." As soon as the sons of the Wesleys were old enough to leave home arrangements were made for carrying on their education in the best schools that the kingdom afforded.

    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.

  • WESTMINSTER UNDER SCHOOL Administrative Assistant (Gap
    WESTMINSTER UNDER SCHOOL Administrative Assistant (Gap Student) - Required for September 2021 Westminster Under School is seeking two talented and enthusiastic Gap Year Students to work at the School from the beginning of September 2021. Applications for the entire 2021-22 academic year are preferred, finishing in the first week of July 2022, however, applications for two of the three terms will also be considered. The School Westminster Under School is a selective school for boys aged from 7 – 13 and is located on Vincent Square, the largest square in Central London, a few minutes from Parliament and well located for transport links at Victoria, Pimlico, Vauxhall or Westminster stations. There are approximately 300 boys in the School – large enough to create a busy, bustling atmosphere but small enough so that teaching and non-teaching staff know boys throughout the School. Westminster’s origins can be traced to a charity school established by the Benedictine monks of Westminster Abbey from at least the early fourteenth century. In 1943, the School expanded by forming the Under School, educating boys aged from 7 to 13 years old, first in Eccleston Square and then in its present site overlooking the beautiful Vincent Square, which allows unrivalled opportunities for sport or just for a relaxing lunchtime’s rest. The School has expanded again several times: in 2011 with new dining facilities, magnificent art studios and a new state-of-the-art theatre; and in 2012 when the School’s massive Sports Centre opened in nearby Lawrence Hall, allowing for indoor sport of all descriptions, from rowing and table tennis to fencing and year-round cricket.
