An unofficial website about the Town and Borough of RotherhamFrom Brian Kendal December 2006
"I was at the grammar school from 1940 to 1948 starting in J2 in the junior school.
When I first went there the fees were £3 3s per term. In addition we had to pay for our books. If we passed the Borough Minor Scholarship the following year, we were given our books free, even though boys who passed from other schools received their tuition free as well. I think that this system was scrapped in 1941.
Incidentally, school dinners cost 10d per day at first, but this was later reduced to 6d. School milk was 1/2d per bottle for 1/3 pint."
