Margaret McMillan College was a British teacher-training college in Bradford. It was established in 1952,[1] and was named after the nursery school pioneer, Margaret McMillan. The founding of the college and a trust was driven by McMillan's friend and supporter Miriam Lord, who campaigned from 1945 to raise funds.[2] The college was affiliated with the Institute of Education at the University of Leeds.[3] It later became an associate college of the University of Bradford.[4] In 1975 the college merged with Bradford College,[5] and ultimately became the Margaret McMillan School of Education.[2]
