Lady Margaret School is a smaller than average all-girls' Church of England secondary school in Parsons Green, Fulham, London. It was awarded specialist school status as a Mathematics & Computing College in September 2003,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Department for Children, Schools and Families )〕 and became an academy in September 2012. ==History== The school has approximately 719 girls aged between eleven and eighteen years, about 183 of whom are in the sixth form. The school is heavily oversubscribed, with more than 7 girls applying per place. The majority of girls stay on into the Sixth Form. A number of students from other schools are given places in the Sixth Form following its expansion with the opening of the purpose-built Olivier Centre in 2010. The headmistress is Ms Elisabeth Stevenson, following the retirement of headmistress Mrs Sally Whyte in July 2015. Lady Margaret School has its origins in Whitelands College School, founded in 1842, soon after the College itself. In 1917, Whitelands School was threatened with closure, and it was only by the strenuous efforts of Miss Enid Moberly Bell, the Second Mistress, and the Staff of the School, that a substantial number of the pupils were "rescued" and became Lady Margaret School in September 1917. The School began life in the oldest of the three houses facing Parsons Green which now form the present school: Belfield House. The School was named after the Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, founder of St John's and Christ's Colleges, Cambridge, and a benefactress of education. In 1937, the second house, Elm House, was purchased through the generosity of Miss Anne Lupton (died 1967). With the passing of the Butler Act in 1944 the Kindergarten and Junior School were phased out and Lady Margaret became a two-form entry grammar school. In April 1951 its relationship to the Church of England was regularised when it became a Voluntary Aided School. Today Lady Margaret School is a successful Church of England academy in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. In 2003 the school achieved specialist status in Mathematics and Computing. In 2007 the school was described by Ofsted as 'good with outstanding features' and by the Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools as 'outstanding'. In 2010, the school opened a new building named the 'Olivier Centre', named after the former headteacher, Mrs Joan Olivier. The auditorium in there was named after Mr. Busby, a former deputy head who also retired in 2006. It was reviewed again in 2011, with Ofsted describing the school as 'outstanding'. Having been designated a 'high performing specialist school' following the successful Ofsted inspection, the school has now been awarded a second specialism in Music. In December 2012 the school was given the go ahead by Hammersmith & Fulham Council to expand to permanently admit four forms of entry in Year 7 following the success of two earlier 'bulge' years. From September 2014 the school admitted four forms (120 pupils) in Year 7. The school's alumnae association for former pupils and members of staff, is called LMX. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lady Margaret School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
