Add to all the above,
Bill Brock's work on H.E. Armstrong, E.W. Jenkins' \From Armstrong to Nuffield\, plus there's work (do not recall author at this moment) specifically on chemistry. Let me know if you want me to make an effort to remember who produced this.
And for the record, science education for all (as opposed to a curriculum that feeds considerations to do with ensuring scientific manpower) is a concept that emerged in the Neglect of Science Debate during WW1, if not before.
