It moved to Lostock Junction and was certified for 200 boys on 13 June 1870. The school lost its certification on 15 June 1924. From Peter Higginbotham's Site Ragged Schools developed from the work of John Pounds, a Portsmouth shoemaker who in 1818 provided a free school for the poorest children. Thomas Guthrie helped to promote Pounds' idea of free schooling for working-class children and started another "ragged" school in Edinburgh. A further school in Aberdeen was set up by Sheriff Watson. In 1844, Lord Shaftesbury formed the Ragged School Union which eventually established over 200 free schools. Edmund's son William worked briefly at the Salford Ragged School.
