Individual English Schools: Sherington Primary School
Figure 1.--Sherington Primary School in Greenwich was founded during World War I (1917). It is still an operating school in the same building. The school describes itself in 2017 as, "A larger than average, ethnically and economically diverse, two form entry Primary School with a nursery and Children’s Centre. We pride ourselves on our high achievement and inclusive community." We have found a classroom image of a second year class. It is not dated, but looks to us like it was taken about 1930. It was a mixed gender school. The class has about 25 children. Many of the boys wear suits or shirts with ties. The girls wear prim dresses. One girl wears a gym frock which Americans call a jumper.

The girls wear prim dresses. One girl wears a gym frock which had become a popular school uniform style at private schools. Americans call it a jumper.
