Exhibition - The State of Education
August 2019 to Spring 2020
In 1833, the government’s first direct financial involvement in education
began with a grant of £20,000. A relatively small sum, this signified the
beginning of the state’s involvement in building an education system that
we recognise today. We take a look at some of the early developments in
education from this time period and what school life might have looked
like for the teachers and pupils of what is now the London Borough of
Sutton at the time. FREE, drop in.
