Malvern schools then and nowTranscription from Littlebury's Malvern Trade Directory 1873The Education Act of 1870 introduced a framework for the elementary education of children between the ages of 5 and 10 years. This would lead to better education of the poor, but perhaps had a lesser effect on the middle classes who were already paying to send their children to private schools. Many of these private school probably had of the order of 30 pupils, much smaller than schools today. The largest boys' school in Great Malvern in 1873 would have been Malvern College which opened its doors in January 1865. There was no comparable girls' school then. The most significant girls' schools at that time were probably those in Abbey Road; for example Miss Cooper's school at Malvernbury, which was a forerunner of Lawnside, and Miss Jay's at Wellington House.
