Endowed Schools Commission Faces Renewal Debate
The Daily Telegraph notes that the Endowed Schools Commission, created in 1869, could see its powers renewed or curtailed as Parliament debates the future of reforming and funding England’s endowed schools. It argues that stopping the commission now would harm education and cites Tonbridge and Harrow as examples of wealth growing from endowments and reform efforts.

Endowed Schools schemes and House of Lords action
Lord Lyttelton states that seven schemes failed due to Lords action, while Commons never rejects. Five more Westminster Schools schemes were rejected, reintroduced, and passed in May 1873. He notes 185 schemes have passed into law, with six more not required to be laid before Parliament. Co optative governing bodies faced opposition mainly from Liberals and Nonconformists.
