On 1 September 2011 the school became a converter academy having previously been judged "outstanding in every respect" by Ofsted. Founded in 1791, St Marylebone Church of England School is a multi-faith comprehensive school for girls aged from eleven to eighteen. The main site is located just behind St Marylebone Parish Church at the top of Marylebone High Street, with the Sixth Form Centre based in another building in nearby Blandford Street, 7 minutes away. ==History== The St Marylebone School began as the Marylebone "Day School of Industry", founded in 1791 in what was then Paradise Street, now Moxon Street, to educate the children of the poor in the parish. Boys and girls were taught skills such as needlework and straw plaiting. The school was funded by donations, charity sermons and income from the children's handiwork. In 1808, with the support of local philanthropist and social reformer Sir Thomas Bernard the school moved to 82 Marylebone High Street, which is now the boutique store Rachel Riley. Subsequently, to make room for growing numbers, it move to a site on Paddington Street, which is identifiable today as a Mission Church. Then in 1858 the 5th Duke of Portland and his wife Lady Lucy Howard de Walden bought a plot of ground near the top of Marylebone High Street and covenanted the site to be used for a girls' school in perpetuity. The main site of the school has been there ever since. The Day School of Industry had been incorporated with Sir Thomas Bernard's school under the direction of the Governors of the Church of England's United National Schools. In 1858 it became known as Central National School, to distinguish it from the Eastern (now All Souls CE Primary) and Western National Schools (now St Mary's Bryanston Square CE Primary) founded in 1824 at nearby parishes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www3.westminster.gov.uk/docstores/publications_store/archives/schools.pdf )〕 The boys' section was eventually closed and it became a girls' school, adopting its current name. In the 1960s-70s the school used a building in Penfold Street, about 15 minutes from the main site, for Domestic Science lessons; this building is now used by the Westminster Youth Service. In 2005 the sixth form moved to part of a building that had housed a convent; in 2008-9 this was demolished and rebuilt as a five-story, university-style Sixth Form Centre. Between 2005 and 2010 the main site saw extensive building and refurbishment work. 2007 saw the opening of major new facilities, including an innovative below-ground gymnasium and dance space and a three-story visual and performing arts space. 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「St Marylebone School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
