• Griffiths, Medina

  Medina Griffiths was appointed the first headmistress of Salts Girls’ High School in Saltaire when it opened in 1876. Her progressive views on girls’ education is summed up in her words: 'I would have girls placed on an equality with boys so far as educational advantages are concerned… I would have girls stand in the foremost rank.' Medina introduced a wide curriculum that included Latin, Greek, French, English, maths, drama, art and music. She encouraged the girls to remain in education and take a university degree. Her progressive ideas were built on by her successor Harriet Byles.
