This Radnorshire database consists of day schools which existed in 1847 included here within an alphabetical list of parishes 
It contains the names and types of day schools listed in the Reports of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the State of Education in Wales published in 1847, the infamous Blue Books.

These complete Reports can be viewed in detail on the National Library of Wales site where, in the Appendices, data on individual  parishes/schools  is shown in the section Notes of Parishes and Schools (Appendix B). Unfortunately, the amount and quality of this data is  inferior to what has been found in the Reports relating to other Welsh counties.
A separate observation is that there were fewer Day Schools in this county than in most other Welsh counties.

The Radnorshire section starts on page 173

For further  reading there is a bibliography of books/articles on education in Wales on Genuki Wales - including several online
