I am pretty sure Birmingham’s state schools required record keeping of all instances of CP, and that this requirement began in 1892. The reason I say this is that the Stewart Street County Primary School (located in Ladywood, Birmingham) opened in 1873, however, from what I’ve seen, the records begin in 1892. Also, the fact that all books I’ve seen are in the same official format printed specifically for Birmingham “Birmingham School Board” or “City of Birmingham Education Committee” lends further evidence that it must have been a requirement to keep records. Otherwise, why go through the bother and expense to procure these?
