<p>Novello Evans (Riley) is posing on the hockey pitch, with what looks like a game of rounders going on in the background. You can see a matron or nurse in a white uniform possibly supervising the game and two of the young boys who attended Tremhyfryd at that time.

<p>My mother, Jean Petty (Crowther) was a boarder at DWS, 1938-44. She came from Nelson in north-east Lancashire and this is her school report for her first term at DWS, the Autumn Term 1938, aged 11. Being born in September, she was a year younger than average for her class, Form III. Her form mistress was Miss Cane and Miss Nightingale was Head Mistress. My favourite remarks are for Gardening, summed up as “Fair” and for which she was awarded a ‘C+’ for Industry and a ‘B’ for Progress. She never did take to Gardening!

<p>This is the cover of Jean Petty's School Report Book for 1938-44. Interestingly, at that time, school reports consisted of a single page per term and were written into a book, which was taken home and counter-signed by a parent. By the time I started at DWS, in 1959, school reports were produced individually each term and covered two pages. They were posted home and therefore did not need to be counter-signed.
