Westminster Under School

Westminster Under School is an independent preparatory school for boys aged 7 to 13, attached to Westminster School in London.The school was founded in 1943 in the precincts of Westminster School in Little Dean's Yard, just behind Westminster Abbey. In 1951 the Under School relocated to its own premises in Eccleston Square. Due to rising numbers of pupils in the 1960s and 1970s, the school moved again in 1981 to its present site (a former hospital) overlooking the Westminster School playing fields in Vincent Square. There are 285 pupils attending the school. The school has a strong musical tradition and provides choristers for St Margaret's Church in Westminster Abbey. It also excels in sport, drama (having produced winners of the recent Shakespeare Schools Festival), chess and Latin. Most boys attending the school move on to Westminster School after the completion of either Common Entrance or Scholarship examinations (in the case of Westminster School, the Challenge), although a number of boys each year go on to other schools, including Eton. The previous Master was Mark O'Donnell, who retired in 2020 due to ill health. Steve Bailey came out of his retirement in the 2020/21 academic year as an interim measure. The current Master is Kate Jefferson who is currently on maternity leave and so the Acting Master is Michael Woodside. There are 47 members of staff.The school fees for the 2020-21 academic year are £6,834 per term.

Statue of William Huskisson
Statue of William Huskisson

The statue of William Huskisson is a marble statue in Pimlico Gardens, a small park in the Pimlico area of London. It was listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England in January 2016. William Huskisson served as a Member of Parliament for Liverpool, but is more widely remembered as being the first fatal victim of a railway accident at the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1830 which he had been involved in creating. There are however sources which suggest there had been victims of railway crashes before him. It was his involvement in railways and the support of industry in Liverpool which would make him popular among his constituents. His death was considered a tragedy and a committee was formed with the aim of creating a memorial for Huskisson. The statue was designed by John Gibson, who, a practitioner of more classical styles of sculpture, depicted Huskisson in the Roman senatorial wear of a toga. While this decision has been questioned, it was one which Huskisson's widow would appreciate. The statue in Pimlico Gardens was the second commissioned, with the original made for Huskisson's mausoleum in Liverpool. This copy was intended to be placed in Liverpool's Custom House but was given to Lloyd's of London unveiled in 1848 and stood in their offices in the Royal Exchange. In 1915 its ownership was then given to the London County Council and it was then installed in its current location.
