The Froebel Society had been formed in 1874 and in 1892 Julia Salis Schwabe led an initiative to found a college for training teachers.
It was imperative that the trainee teachers should be allowed to practice whilst they were learning so a school/nursery was established in parallel.
[4] The third Principal was Eglantyne Mary Jebb MA (1889–1978) who led until 1955[5] when she was replaced by her friend Molly Brearley.
The college's ideas were contained[6] in, Fundamentals in the First School, which was a book that Brearley and Raymond Bott edited and published in 1969.
