City of London School for Girls
City of London School for Girls is a
girls' independent school located in the City of London, United Kingdom. It is
sister school of the City of London School (a boys day school) and the City of
London Freemen's School (a co-educational day and boarding school in Surrey).
History of City of London School for Girls:
The
school was founded by William Ward[disambig in 1894. It was his conviction that
girls should be given a broad and liberal education with an emphasis on
scholarship; he left a third of his fortune to the City of London to fund the
foundation of a girls' school, a £20,000 legacy for the City of London Corporation.
The school now receives financial support from the City Livery Companies as
well as banks and other City firms. Links with the City of London remain strong
- the City administers the school and the Board of Governors is appointed by
the Court of Common Council. The school has strong links with its brother
school - the City of London School is just a 15-minute walk away.
The
school celebrated its 110th Anniversary in 2004-2005, under the title of 'Women
in Leadership'. It celebrated its 111th Anniversary in 2005-2006, under the
same title. It celebrated its 112th Anniversary in 2006-2007 under the title of
'International Women in Leadership'.......Wikipedia >>
