Types of school starting with N

National School (1848-1866)

All schools operated by the Board of National Education were called National Schools. They were renamed Public Schools in 1867.

Nursery School (1943-)

The first Nursery School was opened in 1943 to provide for children of pre-school age. Only the few separate Nursery Schools are entered in the Government Schools of NSW 1848 database because most Nursery Schools have been adjuncts of Infants or Public Schools. Since 1975 pre-school classes have also been established at many schools.
