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).[1] When it opened it was the first teacher training college for women.[2] 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,[3] and in March 1886 it was renamed Maria Grey College after its founder.[1] The college was attached to Brondesbury and Kilburn High School so that the trainee teachers could test their skills in a classroom situation. New buildings for the college and high school were erected in 1892, designed by architect J. Osborne Smith, at a cost of £11,500 (£1.15 million as of 2018).[4]


The teachers learnt about teaching methods developed by Maria Montessori and Froebel.[5][6] In 1892, it attracted Alice Woods as its new head. She was not a great administrator but she focussed on raising the level of attendance. Under her leadership, she was able to have lecturers who were all graduates for every area except for the kindergarten.[7]


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.[8] The site was sold when the department moved to Uxbridge in 2005.[9]
