His daughters were also artists and joined the school. Norah Elsie Strongman (1880 - 3 January 1961) became a pupil-teacher but later became an Assistant Mistress of the school.
When Benjamin retired from teaching at the school, another daughter Amy Lawson Strongman took over as Head of the school.
