The photo is between 1936 and 1939 while at St Clements Bastion. Are you interested. Are there any records/certificates 4 any of them at the school? ?

Thank you for the info. I have since found an old photo of my Dad (Beresford Ward) in school uniform with older sister Daphne & young brother Brian.

The Web site says the school was used from 1950s but my Dad was at school there in the 1930s ???? - Beresford Ward born 1925
