Grammar Schools were abolished in Accrington in 1975, during the premiership of Harold Wilson. Accrington Grammar School for Boys and Accrington High School for Girls were two outstanding schools, also Paddock House Convent Grammar School for Girls in Oswaldtwistle. It was a sad day when these schools ceased to exist. They gave bright young people from ordinary homes the chance to benefit from a first class education.
