Croydon Education Office: School Portfolios

These files contain papers relating to individual schools, including statistical returns for the year from schools, copies of inspectors reports, papers relating to new buildings, correspondence between the Education Office and the school and government departments regarding the school.

Queens Road Homes: Admission and Discharge Registers

Names are entered in a loosely alphabetical order. Details include the name and address of a friend or relation. The start date for each volume is the approximate date at which it appears to have begun in use. However, most of the volumes record a number of earlier admissions, presumably copied from older volumes. There is also some other duplication between volumes.

Croydon Education Office: Administrative Papers

These volumes are bound files of correspondence, reports and other papers compiled by Croydon School Board, (1870 - 1903) and its successor, the Education Office of Croydon Corporation, from 1903 onwards. They fall into two groups: those on general topics and those relating to individual schools, (the school portfolios). Many of these sets of papers appear to have been bound up as volumes in 1903 (when education became the direct responsibility of the local authority; in 1914; and about 1932 (when there was a major reorganisation of the education service). The 1920s and 1930s files were kept in spring-backed binders, until they were bound as volumes in the early 1990s. The files seem to have fallen into disuse during World War Two (when, for example, the system of regular annual returns from schools was discontinued) and were only added to sporadically in the 1940s.

Council Minute Books

These books largely comprise pages of the printed Council minutes, pasted into larger volumes, and signed. Vols 1-4 have handwritten marginal headings, and marginal indexes, but in general these minutes contain no information which is not in the printed editions: noteworthy exceptions are indicated. Some further supplementary documents are also bound into the volumes, notably signed copies of Notices declaring Streets Public Highways, and signed copies of Particulars of Properties recommended for purchase etc. (with prices).
