| Individual or organisational biography | In 1922 the St Brides Foundation Printing School was re-named the London School of Printing and Kindred Trades when it came under the London County Council's direct jurisdiction. The school fell under their jurisdiction as the Council wanted to ensure London schools met the needs of local people, providing consistent and high quality teaching and opportunities for people to upkeep and enhance their skills and knowledge. Since 1912, the Council had been considering the role of technical schools and there had been concerns about St Brides having unsuitable facilities for its students.
In 1949 The London County Council School of Photo-Engraving and Lithography (Bolt Court) and the London School of Printing merged forming the London School of Printing and Graphic Arts after the implementation of the Education Act 1944 which ordered the merger of smaller technical schools to form larger schools which could meet the needs of many students. Before 1949 and even before 1922, Bolt Court and St Brides students had shared some classes, with some students spending an afternoon a week or an afternoon bi-weekly at the opposite school attending classes.
In 1928 the School was governed by an Advisory Council made up of:
President: Rt Honorable Lord Riddell
Chairman: W Howard Hazell
Vice Chancellor: TE Naylor
The Council comprised:
The Chairman
Vice Chairman

As well as 25 elective members including the school's Principal J.R. Riddell. Riddell had been Principal since 1911
In 1936 the School was Governed by the Advisory Council:
