Notes: This information is taken from the annual Duplicate Examination Schedules, Form 61, completed by the teacher and submitted to H.M.Inspector of Schools. It is a "List of Scholars on whose Account a Grant is claimed for the year ended April 30th ---". The document is signed by the teacher and countersigned on behalf of the Managers. It also includes an attendance record and results of the annual examination in Reading, Writing and Arithmetic completed by the Inspector. The examination has levels from I up to V but the level that was taken and the child’s class seem to bear no definite relation to his age. Most boys passed and attendances were usually between 300 and 350 per year. However in year ending 30 April 1877, both John Davies and William Sandford are recorded with 387 attendances and the following year Charles Davies made 393!

‘Date of Admission’ was not recorded after May 1881 and Class records stopped after May 1882.
