Should be obvious what to do! These are the 26 boarding schools listed in the 1889 Public School Year Book as "public schools".

Fun quiz, but why the 1889 yearbook?

It was difficult to chose a source - there are several hundred public schools in the UK and "league tables" seemed a controversial source. The 1889 Yearbook had a small number - but was also one of the first after the Public Schools Act.
