- Description
-
A new primary school on Albert Road in Saltaire was opened in 1878, its creation supported by husband and wife Titus Salt Junior and Catherine Salt. It has remained a primary school until the present day.
When it opened, Children at the Albert Road schools were taught in mixed classes of around 40 children, although boys and girls were still seated in separate halves of the room, and corporal punishment was forbidden.
At the time, the Shipley and Saltaire Times reported that people were doubtful whether this new approach to education would work. Shortly after their opening, the same newspaper printed a report on the schools and retracted their earlier criticism. - Additional information
