A series of influential reports on English education produced between 1923 and 1933 by the Consultative Committee of the Board of Education under the chairmanship of Sir William Henry Hadow, of which the 1926 report on The Education of the Adolescent is the most significant, recommending that primary education end and secondary education begin at age 11, establishing the break that shaped England's later tripartite and comprehensive school structures. Later Hadow reports addressed primary education in 1931 and infant and nursery schools in 1933, and collectively laid groundwork later built on by the Education Act 1944.
