The early photographs of Elm Grove School are brilliant! My Dad (Ralph James Bamber) was born in 1907 and attended there around the same time, and I never thought I would ever see how his classrooms and teachers and schoolmates would look like. He had to be dragged to school, so I think they changed him to St. Martin's School later - or maybe he attended the other school first! If anyone actually has a photograph with his name on it, that would be brilliant! Older siblings Dorothy, Alice, Elsie, Evelyn and Will may also appear on photographs.

Your photos of Elm School are fantastic! May I use them in a presentation to my tutors? I am writing a musical about the school 100 years ago for my degree and I can illustrate my ideas to the tutors with your photographs if this is permissable?
