Records of Isle of Man Education Authority: St Jude's School, Andreas: Admissions Register

This record is a log of enrolment of new pupils at St. Jude's School, Andreas. Names are listed twice: once in the alphabetical section at the front of the volume, and secondly in chronological order in the middle of the volume.

The details recorded about each pupil include:

• pupil number;
• date of admission;
• name;
• date of birth;
• whether exemption from religious instruction is claimed;
• parent or guardian's name;
• address;
• former school;
• date of withdrawal;
• cause of withdrawal.

St Jude's School in the Parish of Andreas was in existence as a parochial school owned and run by the Church of England prior to the Education Act of 1872. In 1883 the ownership and running of the school was transferred to the new Board of Education: an island-wide body brought into existence by the 1872 act. From that date until its closure in 1982 the school provided primary-level education as part of the Government-funded state school system.

St. Jude's School closed in 1982; it is likely that these records were transferred to its parent department, the predecessor of the current (2015) Department of Education and Children around this time, where they have remained until transfer to Isle of Man Public Record Office in May 2015.
