Title: | Ministry of Education and Department of Education and Science: HM Inspectorate: Reports on Primary Institutions |
Description: |
Ministry of Education and Department of Education and Science HM Inspectorate reports on the full and interim inspection of local education authority and non-local education authority maintained primary schools in England, Wales and Hong Kong, under the provisions of section 77 of the Education Act 1944. The papers include some reports on all-age schools that survived the 1944 Education Act (the Act introduced, inter alia, the division between primary and secondary education at the eleven-plus age). For the period 1956-1965 the reports have been transferred into single-year pieces, reflecting the large number of full school inspections performed during those years. |

Arrangement: |
By counties (and, from 1956, by county boroughs) of England and Wales, the sequence being repeated for successive transfers: within a county or county borough, the records are arranged in alphabetical order of district. |
