This unknown school is certainly a primary. It is possible it was a very small school, perhaps one class for each grade from 1 to 6, so there may only have been 100 to 150 pupils enrolled. What is more likely is that several books exist, and so the data set is incomplete. The reason I say that is because the Stewart Street School had approx 1,000 pupils (boys & girls) divided into differing departments over time. Each department had it’s own punishment book so there are books for at least the following I’m aware of: Infants Dept, Boys Dept. Girls Dept, Senior Boys Dept, Junior Mixed Dept. and they span the same time frames as the various departments were in existence.

So it is quite possible that other books from different departments exist, covering the same time frame as the records above. I hope to be able to tell you more if the archives accommodate…
