Greenside Primary School is a coeducational primary school in Westville Road in Hammersmith, London, England.

Architecture

Greenside Primary School is a Grade II* listed building built in 1952 and designed by the internationally renowned architect Ernő Goldfinger. [1]

Greenside Primary School (along with Brandlehow School) is one of the two only examples of pre-cast reinforced concrete frame with brick infill designed by Goldfinger after the Second World War with the objective of re-built schools in a functional, fast and economical manner. [1]

The building has a fine top lit mural by artist Gordon Cullen that was restored in 2014. [1]

History

The school is on the site of a Victorian Board School, built in 1886 to accommodate 1,200 children and offer a ‘serviceable education at very low fees.’ The old school was bombed in 1944, but fortunately the children had already been evacuated.

The current building was opened in 1952, originally named Westville Road School. In 1987 it was renamed Greenside School.
