Industrial Schools
Certified industrial schools were promoted as an alternative to reformatories by a group of magistrates, MPs, and social reformers such as Mary Carpenter. After thir unsuccessful campaign to remove the prison requirement for those entering reformatories, the Industrial School was put forward as an analogous institution but aimed at a younger age group and without the prison element. Initially, under the Industrial Schools Act of 1857, children aged seven to fifteen who were convicted of vagrancy could placed in an Industrial School. A further Act in 1861 defined four categories of potential entrants: under-fourteens found begging; under-fourteens found wandering and homeless or frequenting with thieves; under-twelves who had committed and imprisonable offence; under-fourteens who parents could not control them.
The first Industrial School was established at Feltham as the result of a private Act of Parliament in 1854 although did not come into operation until 1859.
Another Act in 1866 consolidated and amended the previous legislation and raised lower age of entry to a Reformatory to ten. The 1866 Act also transferred overall responsibility for the Schools to the Prison Authority and a single Inspector was to cover both types of establishment. From 1871, children under fourteen of a woman twice convicted of "crime" could be sent to an Industrial School.
Under the 1876 Elementary Education Act, School Boards were authorised to establish Industrial Schools and Day Industrial Feeding Schools "for those children whose education is neglected by their parents, or who are found wandering or in bad company". Day Industrial Schools were defined as institutions "in which industrial training, elementary education, and one or more meals a day, but not lodging, are provided for the children" for their "proper training and control". Day Industrial Schools were established almost immediately at Liverpool and Bristol, shortly followed by Gateshead, Oxford, Yarmouth, and a second school at Liverpool.
From 1880, any child under 14 found to be living in a brothel, or living with or associating with common or reputed prostitutes, could be sent to an Industrial School. A further Act in 1893 raised the age of admission to Reformatories to 12, and the obligatory age of release was reduced from 21 to 19.
Industrial Schools, in common with the Separate or District Schools run by the poor law authorities, often ran a military-style band which gave the boys a musical training and could also lead to a crareer as a bandsman in the army or navy.
Truant Schools
Another new type of school that appeared following the 1876 Elementary Education Act was the Truant School where children who persistently refused to attend elementary schools could be detained for a period, typically one to three months, under a very strict regime, and then released on a renewable licence to attend a normal school. The first Truant Schools to be established were at London, Liverpool and Sheffield.
The London School Board initially planned that inmates should be kept in complete silence, except for during schoolwork, but the Home Office did not approve this proposal. Instead, children were required to perform drill instead of being allowed to play.
Certified School Establishments
In the wake of the 1854 and 1857 Acts, Reformatory and Industrial Schools were set up across the country, all of which had to be officially inspected and certified before they could begin operation. By 1875, there were 54 certified Reformatory Schools and 82 Industrial Schools in England and Wales. At the same date, Scotland had 12 Reformatories and 27 Industrial Schools. By 1885, there was a combined total of 61 Reformatories, 136 Industrial Schools, 9 Truant Schools, and 13 Day Industrial Schools. Generally schools took either just boys or girls, and some schools were specifically for Roman Catholic children.
The boys' schools included a number of naval training ships. Amongst the Reformatory ships were the Akbar, moored on the Mersey at Rock Ferry, near Liverpool, the Clarence for Roman Catholic boys at nearby New Ferry, and the Cornwall on the Thames at Purfleet. Industrial School vessels included the Formidable in the Bristol Channel, the Wellesley on the Tyne, and the Mars on the Tay.

Going back to Maureen's post - where was William recorded as a carpenter please, I think I'm missing something?
1911 he was a blacksmith's striker, which is a blacksmith's labourer, and 1901 a blacksmith (stretch of imagination?), On a marriage he was a boiler-maker, which is akin to a blacksmith - so probably a boiler-maker's labourer.
My grandfather was a boiler-maker, but had labourers working with him - one of which was a great-uncle who had been a blacksmith's striker before going into the shipyard.
