- The founding year of the Portsmouth and Gosport School of Science and Art is subject to conflicting information among sources.[19][20] While some sources indicate a founding year of 1869, the prevailing consensus suggests that the school officially opened in 1870. This view is supported by the University of Portsmouth archive, which contains the school's "minutes" from 1870 to 1894, indicating the commencement of operations in 1870.[21]
