The Grey Coat Hospital
The Grey Coat Hospital, Church of England girls' school in Westminster, London
The Grey Coat Hospital is a secondary girls' school in Westminster featuring traditional brick construction and distinctive architectural character. The building houses comprehensive educational facilities and supports students from intake through sixth form preparation.
The school began in 1698 as a charitable institution primarily serving orphaned boys in the community. Its transition to an all-girls establishment occurred in 1873, marking a fundamental shift in its educational mission.
The school weaves Church of England values into daily school life while maintaining partnerships with schools in Germany, Spain, and Japan. These international connections allow students to engage with different educational traditions.
Students access learning resources through digital platforms and participate in activities beyond the regular curriculum. Applications for sixth form entry are typically completed by January.
An air raid in May 1941 caused significant damage to the original structure, requiring extensive post-war reconstruction work. The building's characteristic features were carefully preserved and restored despite the destruction.
