Plashet Schools

[Ed Bradford]

I have a 14 year old ancestor (Emma Bradford) who was discharged from the Raine Street Workhouse in St. George in the East to Plashet Schools. This occurred on 1 July 1890. When I look up Plashet Schools all I get is reference to one in East Ham which dates back to 1932. Does anyone know anything about the Plashet Schools and are the records available?

There is more info here: https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/essex/vol6/pp38-43, in the Essex volume of the Victoria County History.It is an overview of education and charities in that area, and you will need to scroll to find it.

Thanks helachau and Peter. I'm having difficulty getting anywhere in England on the Internet at the moment. I'll try again tonight when things calm down a bit.
