Figure 1.-- A reader tells us, "My wife won a scholarship to Bradford Girls Grammar School I am not sure why she had the photo because she is not in it. It was well before her time. I think one of the girls is a cousin. Even in those days it was unusual for a boy of that age to still be at the school. I think it may be beacuse the girl he is next to looks very similar and may be a twin." A reader writes, "I think the pictures are of the same school. The one with several boys in it has what looks like the single boy in the photo here, standing 2nd from the right in the back row. The girl just to the left of him looks like a sibling. In the picure with him alone the same? girl is to his right. The girl in the second row at the right end is surely the same girl sitting immediately in front of the lone boy."

A grammar school is a secondary school with a program begining for children at about age 11-12. The Braddford Girls Grammar School had a junior school for younger children. At Bradford it was called a preparatory school. Rules in the junior school and the number of boys attending seem to have varied over time. Presumably boys only attended in the first fewe forms. A reader writes, "My wife had a scholarship to the Senior School, this is a Junior School Class. It was in my wife's photo album. I think one of the girls is her cousin Ada. She was a lot older than Jean. I think the photo was early-30s it could have been earlier. Jean was born in 1933. I used it really as an example of a boy at a girls' school." The image on te previous page shows a mix of boys and girls The photograph found by our reader show only bny in the class and the girls are all meticulously uniformed (figure 1). It looks like a different school. The difference may be that this was an older form. Sometimes coincessions were made for faculty members.
