Scholarship Results, 1940

This is the school entrance examination list for 1940 transcribed from The Aberdare Leader. The names are in rank order of marks obtained in the examination; the maximum mark was 300. The schools took in two Forms of about 30 pupils each, so approximately the first sixty boys or girls would have been offered a place at the school.

This list probably does not tell us exactly who started at the County Schools in 1940. Account should be taken of the reluctance of a small number of parents to allow their children to move up to the County School, as fees would be payable — unless a full fee exemption scholarship was awarded. Also, some families would prefer their sons to enter employment so that an additional wage for the home was acquired. Added to which some families moved away over the summer, or in rare cases a child might wish to join a sibling at a Secondary Modern School. There would also be a small number of transfers to the school from other districts.

Consequently, this results page provides a good, but not definitive, list of the boys and girls entering the schools in September 1940.
