The British National Bakery School, a culinary school at London South Bank University, London, England,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Culinary Schools, Programs & Courses in London )〕 was founded in 1894 and is now the world's oldest bakery school.〔(Introduction and history ), National Bakery School, London South Bank University, UK.〕 == History == In December 1893, Sir Philip Magnus, a governor of the Borough Polytechnic Institute, now London South Bank University, proposed that a bakery school should be set up at the Polytechnic. During the following year Magnus visited a private bakery school run by a Mr John Blandy in Uxbridge (established 1889). He was impressed enough to invite Blandy to the Polytechnic for his advice on setting up a school for the technical and practical training of bakers. The scheme was approved by the London County Council Education Board in April 1894 and funds granted. On 10 October 1894 evening classes for Bakers and Confectioners were opened by Mr Henry C Kutz, President of the London Master Bakers' Protection Society. By 1898 bakers were the largest group in the Borough Polytechnic Institute's student body (142 students) and the success prompted John Blandy to propose that a national bakery school should be set up at the Polytechnic. The proposal prompted the National Association of Master Bakers (founded 1887) to take over the management of the Polytechnic's Bakery School on 25 September 1899 at their own cost. The bakery school was from then on formally known as the National School of Bakery and Confectionary. The School continued its evening classes but now put a focus on its full-time day students, of whom six enrolled in the first term. On 5 February 1902 the foundation stone of new bakery buildings was laid by Thomas Fletcher of Birmingham Town Council, with John Humphry, President of the National Association of Master Bakers and Adam Lawson Johnston, Chairman of the Committee present. On 9 September of that year, the School's new buildings were opened by Alderman Francis Tonsley JP, President of the National Association of Master Bakers, supported by the Mayors of Northampton and Southwark, the Chairman of the Institute and its Governing Body. Mr John Kirkland was appointed Head of Department in the same year. On 10 September 1909 the new day session of the National School for Bakers and Confectioners was opened by the Lord Mayor of London, Sir George Wyatt Truscott with 44 full-time students. The first fourteen female bakery students were admitted in April 1916. In 1927 John Kirkland left his position as Head of Department and a lecture theatre was named after him, which is still is use. During World War II Mr Bennion the School's Head was seconded to the Ministry of Food to advise on rationing and the use of potato flour in baked goods. A higher diploma in Baking Technology was introduced in 1947 and in the following year the School made a silver wedding anniversary cake for King George VI and the Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother as well as the christening cake for the infant Prince Charles. In 1958 the Bakery Department won the grand prix d'excellence and a gold medal at the Brussels 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Bakery School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
