Inhaltsangabe

Educational Studies - The book should be on the shelves of every education
library and should form part of the reading of every aspiring headteacher.
History of Education Quarterly- The book gives a fascinating insight into
elementary schooling in late nineteenth-century England, and it deserves a
wide readership. Cambridge Journal of Education- This is historical
research at its best...Bill Marsden has succeeded in breathing life into an
outstanding London board school...This is the very stuff of English social
history Victorian Studies- W.E. Marsden has done a very rare thing, written
the history of a school- and not a grand school supported by a cast of

understanding of the increasing complexity of the English social structure,
it provides a detailed account of the curriculum and teaching methods to be
found in this kind of school and, above all, it contains a wealth of
material for the local historian. The analysis of the social and
occupational structure of the schools catchment area is excellent, the
insights into the politics of education at local level are
illuminatingJournal of Educational Administration and History- This is
abook all students of 19th-century elementary education should read
