Bruce's School
In 1806 John Bruce from Alnwick opened a school on Percy Street in Newcastle. Day (as opposed to boarding) schools were very unlike those today - they were male only, likely to have a religious base, mainly stressed literacy & numeracy, and fee paying (ragged schools came later). By all accounts, Bruce's School was very much better than the norm at educating boys - which had a major affect on industry in the region.
