The bottom line was of course the fact that despite their possible idiosyncrasies Bennett, Thommo and the Old Girl somehow managed to achieve excellent academic results with a very high percentage of their pupils ( 13 out of my class of 34 some other local schools only managed 1 or 2) passing the 11 plus Grammar School entrance exam. This enabled me and others to go on to Grammar School ( Coopers Company in my case where the cane and slipper saw much use) and then University and achieve academic, financial and social success in later life. We were the kids from working class families in a poor neighbourhood for whom the system very much worked at that time.
