        History

        The County of Middlesex Education Society was founded in 1887 on the initiative of G. Armine Willis, one of H.M. Inspectors, to promote "educational efficiency and general sociability". It was the first society in the country where School Inspectors and School Teachers could meet on equal terms and, at a time when the system of "payment by results" with its "consequent suspicion and subterfuge on every side" was in force, it was regarded as a novel and even hazardous experiment.

        When the Society was finally wound up in 1957, it was resolved that its records should be "deposited in the archives of the Education Office, 10, Great George Street, S.W.I." (the offices of the Middlesex Education Committee).
