The Salt family provided land on the Western side of Albert Road for the building of a new school for primary education.The local school board opened the Albert Road Board Schools in 1878 to cater for 815 younger children. The original Factory School on Victoria Road remained in use as the High School. The building is still in use and today hosts Saltaire Primary School.
• Albert Road School

  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.
