Do you know any schools named after women?

Schools are far more likely to be named after men than women.

I'm wondering which women schools are named after. Is it vast majority Notre Dames and Our Ladys? I can think of a few schools that are named after famous men who weren't saints or bishops or kings.

Any female historical gems near you?

Dame Allan's, Newcastle.

Hopefully calling anything after humans will cease to be a thing

Although the school is now an academy and just 'Costello' which is a shame.

Beatrix Potter primary

"They were founded by Dame Eleanor Allan,[1][2][3] the daughter of a local goldsmith and the widow of a tobacco merchant, to provide a proper education for "40 poor boys and 20 poor girls of the parishes of St Nicholas and St John"

Good for Dame Allan! (We will overlook the double the number of boys to girls and praise her for wanting to educate girls in the first place).

Margaret Hardy Brighton. No longer there though. Named after first woman mayor

Jane Austen College, in Norwich.

I like to think Lovelace school is named after Ada Lovelace. Just found an Ada Lovelace school which definitely is.

Henrietta Barnett school in Barnet

Marion Elaine Richardson (9 October 1892 – 12 November 1946) was a British educator and author of books on penmanship and handwriting.

From 1912 to 1923, Richardson was the art mistress at Dudley Girls High School.[1] In 1915–16 she published a drawing syllabus which was similar to the standard Board of Education drawing programme, but within a year she began to encourage her pupils to produce work with little instruction.[4] She developed her own child-centred methods for teaching art which encouraged self-expression and allowed the pupils to evaluate their own work.

Lovely!
