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
Manchester's 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. Matthew's
School, Byrom Street [M66/14]. The School Boards first new school was built on
Every Street in 1876 [M66/29]. 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 Women's education was also espoused
and eight Evening Institutions for Women and Girls were built between 1891 and
1902.
3
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 [M66/82] and as the
community increased a second school was built at Waterloo Road, Cheetham
[M66/91].
Two schools were established for children with special educational needs at Embden
Street [M66/28] and Hague Street, Newton Heath [M66/122] 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 PupilTeacher Centres. It is common in log books to find references to the visit and
placement of student/pupil 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 Council's 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 [M66/46] and Abergele Sanatorium School
[M66/2].
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 10/65, which
encouraged LEAs to move to non-selective secondary education, was followed in
Manchester with the creation of comprehensive schools.
4
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 Council's 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.
5
Survival and transferral of records
There has never been a legal requirement for schools to permanently retain noncurrent 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 school's
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:
http://www.manchester.gov.uk/directory/84/school_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 (347.942733
MAN (207) and a pamphlet on the history of the college, 1971 (f374.09273 EL1).
They also hold Alfred Harris Body's 'Silver Jubilee: the Story of Didsbury College',
1970 (370.734273 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 child's 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 children's 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:
7
Corporal punishment was banned by parliament in state schools in 1987. Therefore
since this date there has been no creation of punishment books. The punishment
book records the date, name of offender, their offence, date of punishment, details of
what the punishment was, the teachers signature and any other remarks. As these
items contain sensitive information about individuals they are access restricted for
100 years. Please ask the archivist for details. Occasionally certificate books have
survived in which it is recorded which teachers have been given authority to
administer corporal punishment.
Individual Pupil Records & Examination Results:
Unfortunately, we do not hold such records here. You will need to contact the
relevant examination boards who you sat the exams with in order to check whether
or not they can provide you with copies of your certificates. (Please note that there
may be a charge for this service).
As you may already know, several of the examination boards for GCSE/A-Level
qualifications have merged to form new boards in recent years and so you need to be
aware of this when tracing your certificates. The current examination boards for
England and Wales are as follows:
AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance), formerly AEB, SEG and NEAB
http://www.aqa.org.uk/
OCR (Oxford, Cambridge and RSA), formerly UCLES and RSA. OCR
http://www.ocr.org.uk
EDEXCEL formerly ULEAC and BTEC
http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/home.html
WJEC / CBAC (Welsh Joint Education Committee)
http://www.wjec.co.uk
City and Guilds
http://www.city-and-guilds.co.uk
Accident Books:
8
Both staff and pupils used accident books. They record the date, name of person
involved in the accident, name of person making the entry, date of accident, nature of
accident and any injuries sustained. As these items contain sensitive information
about individuals they are access restricted for 100 years. Please ask the archivist
for details.
Staff Registers/Staff Books:
Staff registers contain details of staff employed at individual school. The registers
give name and address of the teacher, date of birth, type of teaching qualification,
name of institution awarding qualification, date of qualification, date on which
engaged at the school, last school employed, at where they were formally pupil
teachers, date of leaving the school. The dates given in the M66 list are the dates at
which the teachers were employment at the school.
HMI Reports:
Inspection was made a condition of grant-aid in 1839. In their report Inspectors
wrote their impressions of school visits. Often these reports were copied and later
pasted into the log book.
Therefore if you are particularly interested in one school but no loose HMI reports are
listed then consult the log book. Inspectors could, and did, comment on a wide range
of aspects concerning education: school attendance, the curriculum followed, the
quality of teaching, whether pupils turned up regularly or not and any problems with
the school building etc.

Manchester Schools Name Index
This index has been compiled to help our users find School Records. Included in this
index are all the Manchester City Closed Schools in the M66 collection and the
majority of Church Schools for which we hold records. This is not an exhaustive list of
all the schools that were operational in Manchester or the Diocese. It was not a legal
obligation for schools to keep their records and therefore we do not have records for
some schools. The list is also not comprehensive with regard to Church School
records. Only those where the collection contains substantial items such as
Managers/Trustees Minutes, Log Books, Admission Registers etc. have they been
included. The list does not include Sunday Schools.
