Histórico
After the government extended the range of the entry examination to the Civil Service in 1875, William Braginton set up private classes for those seeking entry into the lower grades. A connection established with King's College allowed him to use rooms in the College. In the session 1875-1876, 172 young men were admitted and a Civil Service Department was established. In 1897 Braginton's school moved into the basement of King's College and became known as the Strand School. In 1909, following a commitment by London County Council to provide new premises in Brixton, government of the school was handed over to a committee. In 1910 Braginton resigned and was replaced by R B Henderson, who supervised the move in 1913. Strand School flourished for a number of years as a boys' grammar school and later merged with a nearby girls' school.
