EGA School History


Compiling the history of Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School
EGA is formed from an amalgamation of different schools at various times in the past. Various records are in our possession and the Library staff are attempting to put together a comprehensive history of EGA and the schools that were to become EGA. Compiling a chronological history is proving complicated with so many different records from different sites!
A school has existed on the present site in Risinghill Street since 1883. Our earliest records date from Barnsbury School 1904.


We have created four different tumblr sites, one for each  of the schools which were eventually to become Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. On these sites we hope to add all the items in our possession.
