  • Lady Margaret School
    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.

    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).

  • Times Parent Power Schools Guide 2020
    Times Parent Power Schools Guide 2020 Best Secondary Schools in London London’s grip on the very top of the Parent Power rankings for both state and independent schools has been loosened in the past 12 months. This time last year, the capital had 10 of the top 20 schools in the independent sector and nine of the top 20 state schools — figures that have declined this year to eight and five respectively. The overall number of London schools in both rankings has remained broadly the same, however, (down by just three in both the state and independent sectors) while the southeast region is dominant. The capital encompasses the best and worst of education. London primaries are hugely disproportionately represented in our primary school rankings, published last week, with 181 junior schools in the capital among the top 500. However, too many of the children from these schools go on to get lost in underachieving secondaries that are a million miles — or rather several hundred A*, A and B grades — away from the pages of Parent Power. There is cause for some optimism, however, as recent initiatives begin to bear fruit. New free schools, such as Harris Westminster Sixth Form, are helping to change the educational landscape. Harris Westminster is a partnership between Westminster School, one of the country’s most prestigious independents, and the Harris Federation, which has built up a network of 49 primary and secondary schools across the capital over the past 25 years, sponsored by Lord Harris, who built up the Carpetright empire. Harris Westminster sits fourth in our new ranking of sixth-form colleges, with 41% of students gaining at least AAB in two or more facilitating subjects — those that keep most options open at university, including, maths, English, the sciences, languages, history and geography.
