Maria Grey Training College was a training college for female teachers from 1878-1976.
History
The college was opened as the Teachers’ Training & Registration Society College on 1 May 1878 in the Clergy House, Skinner Street, Bishopsgate (now Pindar Street). The Teachers’ Training & Registration Society was created by the Women's Education Union to promote women’s right to education and the professional recognition of female teachers.[1] The Society was promoted by Maria Georgina Grey who had also been fundamental in the founding of the Union. In 1885 it moved to Fitzroy Square,[2] and in March 1886 it was renamed Maria Grey College after its founder.[1] In 1946 it moved to Twickenham. In 1976 the College merged with Borough Road College and Acton & Chiswick Polytechnic to form the West London Institute of Higher Education.[1] In 1995 the West London Institute of Higher Education became part of Brunel University.[3] The site was sold when the department moved to Uxbridge in 2005.[4]
Primary sources
The records of the College are now held in the Brunel University Archives.[5]
