Slater Street School, Slater Street, Leicester
This school was built in 1874 for the Leicester School Board. Board Schools were built by local School Boards (committees) formed after the 1870 Education Act. The act was designed to build more schools and provide an education for children who had not previously been able to attend school. This school was built to accommodate 378 boys, 310 girls and 243 infants. It is the oldest board school in Leicester surviving in an historic condition.
