Hi.,
There were quite a few Grammar Schools around but quite often scholars would
board.My mother born 1908 had a scholarship and went to Cowbridge High
School as a boarder. She lived in LLanttrisant only 10 miles approx ,away.
There was also a very old established Boys Grammar school there. However I
expect it would have been in Penarth or Cardiff.I will have a think .
Cheers,
Sue in LLantrisant

Subject: [GLA] Grammar schools near Penarth
Hi Listers,
Earlier tonight I found out that my granddad won a scholarship to a
grammar school, and I'm wondering if I could find out which one. He was
living in Penarth at the time, so I'm assuming the school wouldn't have
been too far way. Grandad was born in 1903, and had to leave school
1915/16-ish to go to work as his father was away in the army, and the
family needed money. Does anyone know of any grammar schools in/near
Penarth around this time?
Thanks,
Ellie
