Special Girls

Above the entrance of the gate are the words "special girls", this harks back when this was one of the entrances to the very strict Victorian school.  The building behind the gate wasn't always a school however, its earlier history was as a detention centre where prisoners were held prior to being sent to prison.  As is becoming the norm in inner London it is now expensive apartments.

Old Entrance

The stone entrance is all that remains of the old school building in Peckham Rye.  A glimpse of the shiny new one can be seen to the left.  

Westminster School

The Royal College of St Peter usually referred to as Westminster College has been here (in the grounds of Westminster Abbey) since the 12th century.
With a role of 750 this is one of the most prestigious and expensive schools in the UK, costing nearly £10,000 a term for a boarder. Apparently this pays off as the school has the highest Oxbridge entry rate, at 49.9% between 2002 - 2007.
