AdminHistoryFollowing the implementation of educational schemes for workers at the Cadbury factory in Bournville, a Day Continuation School was opened in the village in 1913. Richenda Scott remarks on Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury's keen interest in the school which was maintained by Birmingham Education Authority and later renamed the Day Continuation College. A number of Taylor Cadbury's addresses and publications reflect her concern about the young age at which children left school to enter employment, a belief which motivated her efforts to promote the opportunities for extended education offered by continuation schools.
