The first grammar school established under the act was the Ipswich Grammar School which opened in 1863.

In 1839 government grants for the construction and maintenance of schools were switched to voluntary bodies, and became conditional on a satisfactory inspection.
The National Curriculum was introduced, which made it compulsory for schools to teach certain subjects, as opposed to the choice of subjects being up to the school as had previously been the case.
In Community Schools (formerly county schools), the LEA employs the schools staff, own the schools land and buildings and have primary responsibility for deciding the arrangements for admitting pupils.
