School records at The National Archives
« on: Sunday 07 October 18 22:38 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any idea what information is contained within school records within ED21 at TNA? I'm assuming that any details of pupils would be held at local record offices bu wondered if the records at TNA would be any use to me.

The records at TNA are mainly administrative and statistical, with some inspection reports etc.

You can read the class description for ED 21 here ...
