EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to Shirley Schools, located on Wickham Road in Shirley, Surrey. Established in 1904 by the St. Olave Union, these schools were designed to provide a home and education for pauper children, keeping them separate from the workhouse system. The cottage homes system implemented at Shirley Schools placed children in family groups, each under the care of a dedicated house-parent. The Union's aim was to create a nurturing and supportive environment for these children, allowing them to thrive and receive a proper education. The image showcases the simple yet sturdy brick entrance, with its arched doorway and 'Shirley Schools' sign, which once welcomed the young residents to their new home. The history of Shirley Schools serves as a poignant reminder of the past, highlighting the efforts made to provide care and education for those in need.
