Broad Street Ward Club

 The Chairman, Lisa Preuveneers, was invited to attend the school prize giving day. One of three independent schools owned by the City of London Corporation, Freemen’s School was originally founded in Brixton in 1854 to educate orphans of the freemen of the city. The school is now set in the beautiful grounds of Ashtead Park in Surrey. It is still possible for such orphan children to be educated as "Foundationers" at the school with the costs of their education borne by the City of London Corporation. 

During the VIP pre-lunch reception, Lisa had the opportunity to talk to some of the year 12 students and visit a few of the high-tech facilities available in the Main House. For example, a room that enables in-class students to interact with overseas classmates. 

Lunch was hosted by the Headmaster, Roland Martin and attended by school Governors, representatives from the Corporation of London, Guilds, Livery Companies and Broad Street Ward Club.   After lunch, the Chairman of the school governors, Deputy Philp Woodhouse, invited the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Vincent Keaveny to present prizes and trophies for the 2021/22 academic - many of which were donated by the City of London.

The Chairman, Lisa Preuveneers and Hon Secretary Christine Cook were privileged to be invited to the Master and Clerk's lunch at Draper's Hall. 

Thank you Master David Chalk and Clerk Richard Winstanley OBE for the superb lunch and the fabulous entertainment from the London Youth Choirs - please do support it if you can.
