Were there several other pictures of different years/classes were the kids had not missed a day off?
They are certainly dressed in their 'Sunday Best' for the occaision - the lads' boots are well shined - but whether this was a sunday school job is somewhat speculative.

This is the only picture we have I'm afraid, it came down through the family. As for the ages of the two children we know about, during 1900 Edith Woods had her 9th birthday, and Alfred his 7th or 8th. So these two at least were close in age.
