Our History and Traditions

Westminster City is a member of the United Westminster Schools that include Emanuel School in Wandsworth and Sutton Valence School in Kent.

The building was opened in 1877 and continues to provide the main teaching and acoommodation. The school was given its present name in 1890 and is a non-diocesan, voluntary aided boys’ all-ability school with a mixed sixth form.

Westminster City has particularly strong links with St Margaret’s Church, Westminster Abbey. Through its long and rich history, the school has had strong roots in the educational heritage of the cities of Westminster and London and continues to be supported by the United Westminster Schools’ Charity whose resources are dedicated to the enhancement of educational provision for its students, in the spirit of the original bequests of the many benefactors.
