Our history
The Allied Schools were founded by the Revd. Percy Warrington in the 1920s in a flurry of activity, creating originally a group of 10 schools in Britain and a girls school in Kenya. The trustees of the schools were then all trustees of the Martyrs' Memorial and Church of England Trust.
The schools ran into severe financial difficulties during the years of depression in the early 1930s and were rescued by the intervention of the Legal and General Assurance Society. Under a new Scheme of Management instituted in 1934 the influence of the Martyrs' Trust was much restricted since it was empowered to nominate only one sixth of the Governors of School, as is still the case today. The Legal and General mortgages were finally repaid in 1980, and since the Governing Bodies of the existing member schools wished to continue the alliance, a revised Scheme of Management was agreed, setting up the new Allied Schools Council.
The decision to admit New Members was taken in 1998 and
formalised in 2002.
