Industrial Schools originally taught basic trades to children whose parents could not look after them. After 1854, magistrates could send vagrant children to these schools as an alternative to prison. The purpose of this Sub-Committee was to investigate the contribution needed to provide for a Corporation Industrial School for around 40 boys, to compliment the free industrial school at Gem St, Birmingham. A site at Strawberries Farm in Shustoke was chosen and leased in 1868. The school was administered by the School Board (SB B) until 1903, when it was turned over to the BCC Education Department (BCC/1/BH).
