Individual English Schools: Sefton Park Primary School
Figure 1.--Thanks to the photographer's board, we know that this is the Sefton Park School primary school. We wondeered who Sefton was, but apparently it wasa Celtuc work meaning marshy area--a place name adooted by the schools. The only problem with that is that there were two such schools. omne in Bistol and one in Liverpool. We have no idea which one this was, there is no way to tell. It does tell us, however, that it was a substantial school because there seem to at least two classess for each standard (grade). We at first thought that it was a girls' school because the first portait we found was an all girls' class. But than we found an all boy's class taken at the same time.

So apparerntly this was a coed school with separate boys' and girls' classes. The portrait is undated, but looks to have been taken about 1930. The clothes look fairly modern, but the hightop shoes the boys wear suggest the 1920s or early-30s. There was no uniform, but several of the gurks wear school uniforn items including the gym frock. Almost all of the boys wear suits with short pants and knee socks. That was nor required, just how boys dressed at the time.
