Hi,
Slamannan School
Slamannan Public School was established before 1873. The Kirk Session records mention a schoolmaster in 1711. It became Slamannan Junior Secondary School in c 1948. In 1964 the secondary department was closed and it became Slamannan Primary School.
Slamannan Parish School Board
The Education (Scotland) Act 1872 (35 & 36 Vict., c 62) created school boards in Scotland with a statutory duty to provide education for all children between the ages of 5 and 13. The boards had an elected membership made up of owners and occupiers of property of the value of £4 or over. They were responsible for the building and maintenance of schools, staffing and attendance of pupils. They were overseen by the Scottish Board of Education. The Education (Scotland) Act, 1901 (64 Vict. and 1 Edw. VII, c. 9) raised the school leaving age to 14. School boards were abolished under the terms of the Education (Scotland) Act, 1918 (8 & 9 Geo. V, c. 48) and replaced with school management committees. From 1873 to 1919 schools were managed by Parish School Boards . From 1919 to 1930 these were replaced by School Management Committees and overseen by the Education Authority for the area. In 1930 County Councils were required to set up Education Committees which replaced the Education Authorities.
