| Administrative History | The first Board of Education was established around 1838 'to establish throughout the Diocese a system of education based on the doctrines and discipline of the Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ established in the land'.
The Board of Education was reconstituted in 1880 on the erection of the diocese of Liverpool. Its aim had been 'to promote, within the diocese, education in conformity with the principles of the Church of England by assisting in the maintainance of the training colleges of Chester and Warrington ... and, until the formation of the Church Schools Association, (EDM 6), by making grants... for building and enlarging Schools in poor parishes...' It was dissolved in 1919. A new board was established in 1959 (EDM 6). |
