PRIVATE SCHOOLS

Private Schools in Lytham & St.Annes.





Between 1850 and 1950, small private schools abounded on this coast. There were between 20 and 30 of them in Lytham St.Annes in the early 1900s. The reasons for this were as follows:


Industry had created many wealthy families in the north west.
Fresh air (the industrial towns were heavily polluted)
Lytham & St.Annes were middle class towns
Good sanitation
There was plenty of space to build and expand a school.
These families wanted their children educated in special "Commercial Schools" (Business Colleges).
Many military families served abroad and sent their children to boarding schools.

The number of these small private schools dwindled from the 1920s onwards. This was partly due to the opening of King Edward VII School (1908) and Queen Mary School (1930). Other reasons include the two World Wars, The Depression, and more recently, the reduction in the Armed Forces.

Today, the only remaining private school in Lytham St.Annes is St.Annes College.
