the green school for girls
Isleworth
The Green School for Girls began as an elementary school but in 1904 the
trustees determined to conduct it as a Secondary School for Girls. Henry George
seventh Duke of Northumberland, K.G., erected this building and let it to the
Trustees for this purpose. It was opened on the 16th January 1906 and the
current location of Busch corner. It was originally built on one floor being
able to accommodate 120 girls. On July 16th 1934 the new buildings were
dedicated by the Right Reverend the Bishop of Kensington and ceremonially opened
by Her Grace the Duchess of Northumberland. During the year of 1940 the school
suffered bomb damage on 3 separate occasions. In 1951 the rebuilt school was
opened and has continued to enlarge.
