Manchester Education Committee Prior to 1870 school provision was provided on an ad hoc basis by religious voluntary institutions and private fee paying schools Britain was very slow to introduce state controlled education in comparison to the rest of Europe The 1870 Education Act was not meant to introduce sweeping changes to the established system rather it was meant to monitor the provision of education in

each area and if necessary build and maintain schools from the rates where there was provision shortfall The country was divided in 2500 School Districts and Manchester School Board was established in 1870 with local rate payers elected members onto the School Board The 1870 Act allowed for women to be voted onto the School Boards and in Manchester Lydia Becker was voted on the School Board where she served from 1870 until her death in 1890 Lydia as a suffragist took a strong interest in improving the education of girls in the city Becker criticised the domestic education of girls in Manchesters schools saying If she had her way every boy in Manchester would be taught to mend his own socks and cook his own chops The large number of voluntary schools that existed in Manchester in 1870 were largely pronounced efficient by HMIs and it was not until 1875 that the School Board took over its first two schools - Sharp Street Ragged School and St Matthews School Byrom Street [M6614] The School Boards first new school was built on Every Street in 1876 [M6629] By the end of 1902 the School Board had built 40 new schools taken over a further 26 and supervised 89 non-provided schools Under its first chairman Herbert Birley the School Board was also involved in the provision of education over and above elementary level By 1903 there were 6 Higher Grade and Science Schools with the largest and most esteemed being the Central School which opened in Deansgate in 1884 The School Board began an exhibition fund in 1875 to enable poorer children to attend Higher Grade Schools and in 1891 it was decided that any child passing standard VI would be eligible for support Further education provision was made for working people to study in the evenings with Evening Continuation Schools Science and Art Evening Schools and Commercial Evening Schools The cause of Womens education was also espoused and eight Evening Institutions for Women and Girls were built between 1891 and 1902

The voluntary schools largely represented Christian denominations but there were insufficient school places for the increasing Jewish population A Jewish school was opened by the School Board at Southall Street Strangeways [M6682] and as the community increased a second school was built at Waterloo Road Cheetham [M6691] Two schools were established for children with special educational needs at Embden Street [M6628] and Hague Street Newton Heath [M66122] through the influence of Mary Deny who had been elected to the School Board in 1896 In later years these specialist departments were set up else where and were often known as ESN [Educationally Sub-Normal] Schools or later special schools The quality of teaching in Manchester schools was improved by the creation of Pupil-Teacher Centres It is common in log books to find references to the visit and placement of studentpupil teachers Manchester City Council has been a Local Education Authority since 1903 when under the 1902 Education Act it became responsible for the provision of elementary education in the City The Act also charged local authorities with the development of education other than elementary The Education Committee appointed by the City Council and composed of council members and co-opted persons assumed the functions of the existing School Board and the Councils existing Technical Instruction Committee on the 1 July 1903 It was to supervise the running of the Board School and to a lesser extent the running of the existing voluntary schools The transition from School Board to education Committee was smooth The Education committee took over the ethos of the School Board particularly in the provision of secondary schooling with Lady Sheena Simon Director of the Education Committee as one of the chief advocates of free secondary education in the 1930s In addition the Education Committee continued to provide for a variety of educational needs Delicate or sick children were often catered for in schools outside the City for example Mobberley Open Air School [M6646] and Abergele Sanatorium School [M662] The Education Committee presided over various reorganistions of schools in Manchester Breaks in the series of records are found in 1910 when Higher Elementary Schools were reorganised as Central Schools and again when schools were reorganised following the publication of the Hadow Report in 1926 Whereas previously children had often received their compulsory education between the ages of 5 and 14 in a single school the report envisaged separate schools for children over 11 Changes to the nature of secondary schools following the 1944 Education Act however are not indicated by a new series of records Circular 1065 which encouraged LEAs to move to non-selective secondary education was followed in Manchester with the creation of comprehensive schools

After local government reorganisation in 1974 the City of Manchester became a Metropolitan District of Greater Manchester County The Education officer of the District kept the same jurisdiction as the former City Councils Chief Education Officer The Greater Manchester County was abolished in 1986 and the Education Department of Manchester City Council continued to have overall responsibility for the organisation of schools in the area The Education Acts of 1980s saw some LEA responsibilities for the management of schools devolve to governors and head teachers As a result new classes of records such as annual reports and financial statements were created

Survival and transferral of records There has never been a legal requirement for schools to permanently retain non-current records Administrative Memorandum No 531 1956 stated that admission registers attendance registers and punishment books should be kept for three years after completion and that log books should be kept for the duration of the schools existence If a school is still currently operational it should still hold its own records At the Greater Manchester County Record Office (with Manchester Archives) we hold records of closed Manchester schools Although it is common practice for head teachers to transfer records to the Chief Education Officer on the closure of the school this has not always been the case in the past The Education Department has passed all the records that it has received to us For contact details of schools currently operating in Manchester see httpwwwmanchestergovukdirectory84school_finder Unfortunately no admission records survive for the various teacher training colleges administered by the Manchester Education Committee Manchester Central Library has prospectuses of the Elizabeth Gaskell College 1960-61 1966-1977 (347942733 MAN (207) and a pamphlet on the history of the college 1971 (f37409273 EL1) They also hold Alfred Harris Bodys Silver Jubilee the Story of Didsbury College 1970 (370734273 Bo)

Document Descriptions Log Books The keeping of a school log book or diary was first instituted in 1862 The log book was to be kept by the Headmaster or mistress of the school and was to contain details of events at the school especially those worthy of permanent record in the life of a school What is recorded in a log book and the amount of detail given is very much dependent on the particular head teacher at the time In general the log book normally records the appointment and absences of teachers visits made to the school by such people as the HMI inspectors student teachers etc school trips and outings changes in curriculum school building or school name etc It is very rare that individual children are mentioned by name Where children are mentioned it is generally because a child has either excelled won an award or scholarship etc or they have been sent to the head for discipline matters those who have ended up in court for juvenile offences etc Admission Registers Admission registers are compiled at the time of a childs admission to a school They record a pupils name date of birth address date of admission and leaving often also included is a parents name and standard reached before leaving The majority of admission registers have an index at the front of the volume which makes them easy to search In the M66 collection the dates given for the admission register are the dates of childrens admission to the school not their birth dates Admission registers for technical institutes often include much more information on individual pupils but often are not indexed Attendance registers have only been kept where admission registers have not survived Registers of Summaries Registers of summaries give statistical summaries of numbers in attendance at the school on a weekly basis and a yearly overview of the figures They do not mention individual pupils by name Punishment Books
