Aberdare Boys’ Grammar School

School History

Names of pupils who were in the 1935 Entry

from School Records

The school records are incomplete for the 1935 entry. Published Entrance Scholarship results for this year strongly suggest that the following boys are missing from the Form 1A list, (unless they did not take up their place):
Charles H.G. Chick, Raymond Cole, Alfred Davies, David F. Davies, and Gilmour Davies.
Richard A.P. Berry also scores highly in the 1935 Scholarship list, but instead took up a place in Quaker’s Yard G.S. However in 1938, he transferred back to Aberdare entering Form 5.
