Aberdare Boys Grammar School

At this period of the School’s existence school fees were required from families to help pay for their children’s education. The School had about half of its pupils with no external financial support, but for the other half there were full and partial scholarships available for those pupils who had done well in the entrance examination. The annotations on the letter are in the handwriting of the Headmaster, W. Charlton Cox. 3Class^l was the name of a Form. There was at that time 3Class^l and 3Mod, differentiated by the subjects taken by the boys in those classes. Class^l and Mod were abbreviations for Classical and Modern. David Bryn Lloyd would have been a transfer into a higher form from another County School.
