The Scotland Road Free School was a short lived example of democratic education started in Liverpool , United Kingdom UK , in 1970 by two local teachers, John Ord and Bill Murphy. A closely linked project was the Liverpool Community Transport initiative.

It would be open when it was needed and lessons would be optional . The prospectus added The school will be a community school....totally involved with its environment.....the vanguard of social change . ref http www.afed.org.uk org issue63 learn.html ref It was based in a former school building in Major Street, close to the Boundary Street Scotland Road junction. The pupils were granted considerable freedom and responsibility, and they benefitted from frequent trips to outside venues. Summer camps were organised at Carrog and Coniston. Teachers and helpers were all unpaid volunteers, many on the dole . The Scottie Road Free School experiment took place while the world wide free schooling de schooling ideology was at its height. The School attained a certain notoriety, receiving visits from educationalists, researchers and social workers. Partly to raise funds and partly to spread the message , teachers at the school would travel to give lectures at meetings and at colleges including Leeds University and Bretton Hall College . The School became a forum that linked with other radical movements, such as a womens refuge in Seel Street, and later some housing association developments. Bill Murphy moved on to concentrate on Liverpool Community Transport, which he established in nearby Leeds Street but John Ord stayed with the school throughout.
