Description (What the record is about)
-
Board of Education files relating to the administration of the Codes of Regulations, 1903 to 1944, in England, Wales and the Isle of Man.
Among the more important matters dealt with, are staffing, approval for the purposes of a grant, and some aspects of school attendance. There are also some H.M. Inspectors' general reports.
Many of the early papers have a precedent value and they often possess a relevance beyond the Authority of the area concerned.
This series of files ended with the Education Act 1944, as the renumbered series dating from 1 January 1945 deals with both primary and secondary schools regulations.
For a few authorities there are separate files for particular subjects, and these are indicated in the list.
