There is a real commitment to every child, regardless of physical or academic ability, culture, background or religion. We aim to run a school where everyone feels valued and where there is a feeling of community and a clear sense of purpose that embraces, children, staff, parents and carers, governors and other colleagues and friends in the local community. There are high expectations of everyone, as set out in the Aims of the School and the Home-School Partnership Agreement. Governors hope that parents who chose this school for their child do so knowing that it is a Church of England school with a distinctive Christian ethos. Governors therefore expect parents to give their full support to the ethos of the school. Governors hope that all children will attend the acts of collective worship and will take part in the religious education curriculum offered by the schools. This does not remove the right that parents have to request that their children be withdrawn from these activities. Reception Class - Governors will admit 30 children per year. The closing date for applications is 1 March 2010. Offer letters will be sent out to Parents on 10 May 2010 for the September 2010 and January 2011 intakes. Parents must accept the offer by 24 May 2010.

Bound by Aybrook, Moxon, Cramer and St. Vincent Streets, Marylebone Square is reintroducing a long-lost local street pattern to the area. MARYLEBONE SQUARE INTRODUCTION A Rare London Find What is it about Marylebone? Perhaps it’s the elegance of its architecture and the charm of its boutiques and eateries – or the surprising tranquillity of its tree-lined streets, a world away from the bustle of nearby Oxford Street. In the end, it might be the sense of community and leisurely pace of life that sets this neighbourhood apart. As the city buzzes with its busy schedules, Marylebone takes its time – savouring sit-down coffees in local cafés and loungy lunches in the park. It’s easy to forget you’re just a short stroll away from transport hubs, tourist attractions and all the trappings of big city life. As you find yourself “Marylebone Square idling around the shops on chic Chiltern Street, exchanging hellos with the butcher at the Ginger Pig or sunbathing in a quiet corner of Paddington Square is a collection Gardens, you quickly realise that this is a place where people actually live – of 54 high-end not just commute to, pass through, or visit for a few hours a day.

  • St Marylebone Parish Church Records of Burials in the Crypt 1817-1853

    St Marylebone Parish Church Records of Burials in the Crypt 1817-1853

    Record of Bodies Interred in the Crypt of St Marylebone Parish Church 1817-1853 This list of 863 names has been collated from the merger of two paper documents held in the parish office of St Marylebone Church in July 2011. The large vaulted crypt beneath St Marylebone Church was used as place of burial from 1817, the year the church was consecrated, until it was full in 1853, when the entrance to the crypt was bricked up. The first, most comprehensive document is a handwritten list of names, addresses, date of interment, ages and vault numbers, thought to be written in the latter half of the 20th century. This was copied from an earlier, original document, which is now held by London Metropolitan Archives and copies on microfilm at London Metropolitan and Westminster Archives. The second document is a typed list from undertakers Farebrother Funeral Services who removed the coffins from the crypt in 1980 and took them for reburial at Brookwood cemetery, Woking in Surrey. This list provides information taken from details on the coffin and states the name, date of death and age. Many of the coffins were unidentifiable and marked “unknown”. On others the date of death was illegible and only the year has been recorded. Brookwood cemetery records indicate that the reburials took place on 22nd October 1982. There is now a memorial stone to mark the area. Whilst merging the documents as much information as possible from both lists has been recorded. Additional information from the Farebrother Funeral Service lists, not on the original list, including date of death has been recorded in italics under date of interment.

    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

    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.
  • Sundials, Solar Rays, and St Paul's Cathedral

    Sundials, Solar Rays, and St Paul's Cathedral

    Extract from: Babylonian London, Nimrod, and the Secret War Against God by Jeremy James, 2014. Sundials, Solar Rays, and St Paul's Cathedral Since London is a Solar City – with St Paul's Cathedral representing the "sun" – we should expect to find evidence of solar rays , the symbolic use of Asherim to depict the radiant, life-sustaining power of the sun. Such a feature would seem to be required by the Babylonian worldview, where Asherim are conceived as conduits of hidden power, visible portals through which the gods radiate their "beneficent" energies into the universe. The spires and towers of 46 churches are aligned with the center of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, creating 23 "solar rays". I was already familiar with this idea from my research into the monuments of Dublin, where church steeples and other Asherim are aligned in radial fashion around the "sun," the huge modern obelisk known as the Millennium Spire. As it happens, a total of 23 "solar rays" pass through the center of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, based on the alignment of churches alone . Thus, in the diagram above, two churches sit on each line. If other types of Asherim are included – such as obelisks, monoliths, columns and cemetery chapels – the number is substantially greater. [The 46 churches in question are listed in the table below .] 1 www.zephaniah.eu The churches comprising the 23 "rays" emanating from St Paul's Cathedral 1 St Stephen's, Westbourne Park St Paul's Cathedral St Michael's Cornhill 2 All Souls Langham Place St Paul's Cathedral St Paul's Shadwell
