The English Higher Grade Schools »

This book looks at the English higher grade schools, a short-lived but remarkable group of institutions that flourished at the end of the 19th century. Vlaeminke (education, University of Leicester) considers the social conditions which produced the higher grade schools, the social forces that led to their demise, and the implications of these events for education, religion, politics, and class relations in English society.
