History

This building was formerly the Marylebone Lower School site of North Westminster Community School. The school moved into new purpose-built premises in the summer of 2007 and was still being constructed during the academic year in September 2007. The new site is in the Westbourne Green area. The architects are Allford Hall Monaghan Morris.
