School Histories Project

Yesterday I went along to an Open Day organised by the Institute of Education, for the School Histories Project. It took place in the Library and we had the opportunity to look around the School History section in the Library, which contains a library of books about education and history of particular schools, where books exist.
Shirley Franklin had put together some excellent resource packs that could be taken away and we looked at some photographs on display.

Looking through a copy of the London County Council Board Record book, I was thrilled to find a reference to and information about staff,salaries and the building plan of Risinghill School in 1885 - we have no information about the school during this time.
