Kensington and Chelsea College
Kensington and Chelsea College (West London Campus) is a provider of education and training in west London, United Kingdom.
History of Kensington and Chelsea College:
The Sloane School had about 500 boys and was a grammar school on Hortensia Road in Chelsea. It was named after Sir Hans Sloane (1660–1753) after whom Sloane Square was named in 1771. The school library was opened on 25 November 1931 by Sir Hugh Walpole. It was administered by London County Council, and for many years from 1929 until 1961 the headmaster was Guy Boas (9 December 1896 - 26 March 1966) who encouraged much-acclaimed productions of Shakespeare. The school magazine was The Cheynean.
Sloane School merged in 1970 with the nearby Carlyle School to become Pimlico Comprehensive School, and Pimlico Academy since 2008. The buildings became Chelsea Secondary School, then part of the college in 1990.
