If the applicant has a sister already in attendance at the school or is the daughter of a former pupil this will be taken into account

“Parents are asked to ascertain before making application whether the course contemplated for their daughter •is available. It should be noted that commercial and home life courses are not available." Agreement on the siting and the plans for the school’s new assembly hall had been reached, it was reported.
