I assume it is a primary school. Even so the numbers seem very low by 1950s/1960s standards. There is no clear indication of the children’s ages or classes, except for possibly the second page and then there seems to be preponderance of class 1 and 2 (age 6-7) ??. All of the class teachers listed were women, understandable in the war years but surely less so in the Depression. This seems to indicate that maybe the male teachers did their own punishments, which may or may not have been recorded in a book.
