Looking for my 2nd Great Aunts Apprenticeship

[Candidiasia Ibberrson]

Susan Townley born 14 Dec 1857 West Haddon. On the 13 May 1878 she went to Australia with her sister Harriett.

I have a piece that states There was however a reason why a young woman of twenty two should sail half-way across the world to Sydney, then proceed to what was almost a "far-flung" outpost of the the Empire Miss Townley had relatives in Binnaway district with whom she had come to stay, and when it was discovered that she had completed a pupil-teacher apprenticeship in England she was naturally a prrime candidate for Binnaway's school. 

I am looking for her apprenticeship can anybody help?

Thanks

I've just sought the advice of my wife who is currently researching the history of Freeman's School in Wellingborough.

The apprenticeships were for 5 years. I've just looked at a copy of an Indenture from 1869 ... it was completed and signed by a quorum of school Managers along with the Pupil Teacher's father.
The Indentures my wife has seen were part of the Accessions from the school to the Northamptonshire Record Office.

Hope this helps.
Bryan.
