Individual English Schools--- S. H. School
Figure 1.--We have not yet been able to determine the name of this school. We only see the intials 'S.H.' on the blazer breast pockets. The 'H' probably means Hall or House, reflecting the fact that many private schools were open in the old manor houses of country estates with some of the adjoining grounds. Here we have an undated school portrait from we think the 1960s, but this is a little difficult to tell. Many prep schools at the time were shifting over from single gender schools to coed. We see boys and girls of a junior school who are about 6-8 years old. Most of the boys, but not the girls are wearing blazers. Put your cursor on the image to see more bof the scool.

It was more common for junior schoos to be coed. We see boys and girls of a junior school who are about 6-8 years old. Most of the boys, but not the girls are wearing blazers. All of the children wear white shirts and horizontal stripe ties. The boys wear short pants and grey knee socks with colored top bands. The girls wear grey skirtys with white socks.
The photographer's credit is for the Wayland studio in Blackheath. It is deinitely a private school. Provenance thus suggests that this may have been a pre-prep school or the junior division of a prep school locvated in the area between Blackheath and Brockley (London SE3 and SE4). There are 67 children in this photograph, which is too large for a class and more in line with the pupils of a small preparatory school or one section of the school. The portrait is mounted on a card.
