11+ Results, 1950

Edited transcript from the June 17th 1950 edition
of The Aberdare Leader

This list includes pupils who were destined to enter Aberdare Girls’ County Grammar School, and Aberdare Boys’ County Grammar School. There is no indication that some of these pupils were destined for Mountain Ash County Grammar School. About 30 pupils were accepted into each of the Aberdare grammar schools.

The numeric column shows the mark for Arithmetic, then for English, each out of 150, and the the third figure is the total. The Aberdare Leader of June 17th, 1950, published the marks for the first 150 pupils in rank order for both boys and girls, but only the first 100 are listed below. It is notable that the average mark to get in the Boys’ Grammar was lower than that required to get into the Girls’ Grammar.

Notation:
J.M. — Junior Mixed.
J.B. — Junior Boys.
J.M. & I. — Junior Mixed and Infants.
Town (Vol.), J.M. — Town Voluntary Controlled Mixed (i.e. The National School Cardiff Street.)
Town J.M. — previously known as the Town Council, now Caradog.
S.M. — Senior Mixed.
St. Fagan’s (Vol.) J.M. — St. Fagan’s Voluntary Controlled Junior Mixed, Trecynon.
J.G. — Junior Girls.
St. Margaret’s (Vol.) M. & I. — the Voluntary Controlled Catholic School in Glannant Street.
Brookside Prep. was a small private preparatory school in Abernant Road.
