On Wednesday we celebrated Founder’s Day, as part of our 125th anniversary celebrations, and in honour of William Ward who founded the school in 1894. Mr Ward was a successful businessman who passed away in 1881, leaving most of his money to a range of charities and deserving causes. The largest chunk of his fortune was left to the City of London to set up a high school for girls.
