SCHEDULE OF SCHOOLS

The following schedule does not include grammar schools, which have been dealt with separately; it does include all other schools known to have been at any time under the control of either the Leicester School Board (after 1870) or the Leicester Education Committee (after 1903), schools founded by national societies (e.g. British schools), all Anglican church schools, and all other major schools which are known to have taken day pupils and not to have been simply Sunday schools. The schedule has been drawn up mainly from the reports of the Leicester School Board and the Leicester Education Committee and from directories of the borough of Leicester.

The columns in the schedule indicate: (1) name of school; (2) date of foundation; (3) type of school at foundation; (4) date of closure; (5) type of school in 1955, or at closure. The date 1935 in brackets after the name of a school in col. 1 indicates that it came under the control of the Education Committee only in 1935 under the terms of the County of Leicester Review Order of that year, which extended the borough boundary. Where a school is listed as a Board School in col. 3 it was controlled by the Leicester School Board unless otherwise stated in the notes. Where the school was in existence in 1955 the word 'date' appears in col. 4.

Abbreviations used: B., Boys' School; Bd. Sch., Board School; G., Girls' School; I., Infants' School; J., Junior School; Sec., Secondary Modern School.
