LEAVESDEN SCHOOLS In 1868 the St. Pancras Board of Guardians purchased 37 acres of land at Leavesden, near Watford, for the erection of schools to accommodate children under the Poor Law Act. The Schools were opened in 1870. The following quotes from a historical record of the Schools gives an impression of the life the children experienced.

"It was long felt in connection with the industrial training of girls for service, that the steam appliances both for cooking and laundry work, and the use of machinery generally in most departments, necessary as they are for the daily work here, tended to unfit a girl for ordinary domestic service. A special training room was therefore arranged, in which the girls receive on an average six months' training in the details of ordinary household work. No machinery is in use, and the girls are taught washing, ironing, economy in cooking, the preparation of their own meals, the value of all articles used,æand thus become accustomed to the ordinary routine of work which they have to perform when sent out to service."

"The girls have in addition their needlework, knitting and crochet classes, with occasional readings, and every effort is made to give a home-like and cheerful tone to the whole School. The boys are taught useful trades, such as carpentry, upholstery, engineering, tailoring, shoemaking, gardening, etc. Many lads also receive tuition in the brass band attached to the Schools; in several instances lads from these schools who entered the army and received their first instruction in this band have risen to very important positions ."
