The only school of the old “seven” which was directly revived by one of Arnold's disciples was Harrow under his ex-pupil, Vaughan, between 1845 and 1859. Outside the “seven” another one of Arnold's former pupils, Prince Lee, carried Arnold's influence to his headmastership of King Edward's School, Birmingham (1837–48).

Ibid., 1859–60, Vol. 4, 123. The School was divided into three “schools”, Lower, Modern and Upper. The Upper School consisted of three forms (VI, V, IV); the Modern School of three divisions; and the Lower School of three forms (III, II, I), and a Preparatory Form. In the Lower School, English, Latin, Arithmetic, Writing, Geography and History were taught in Form I, to which French was added in Form II, and Greek, Geometry and Algebra in Form III. When pupils reached Form III they could transfer to the Modern School, where instead of taking up Greek they could devote more attention to German, French, Mathematics and the Physical Sciences, which subjects, together with Greek, were studied in the Upper Forms.
