About Westminster School Enterprise

Westminster School Enterprise is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

Westminster School is a prestigious and historic institution, renowned for its unique and enchanting location. It proudly stands as the only long-established school to have remained on its original site in the heart of London. The school’s illustrious history dates back to a charity school founded by the Benedictine monks of Westminster Abbey, with continuous existence since the early fourteenth century. Following the dissolution of the monasteries between 1536 and 1541, the school’s future was safeguarded by Henry VIII, who ensured its survival by statute. The school’s royal patronage was further solidified by Elizabeth I in 1560, who is celebrated as the Foundress of this esteemed institution. Westminster School’s rich heritage and enduring legacy make it a beacon of excellence and tradition.
