Yes jaysay, Todmorden Grammar School, they taught pupils there until they were 18 years old if they were good enough to graduate up from a lower one.
I left after year 5 which would make me 16, I would have had to continue Latin and found it very hard to take in. My brother left at the end of the year Upper sixth and went onto University.
Many famous people were educated at Todmorden Grammar, Sir John Cockroft was one , he was the one who split the atom. The headmaster was annoyed, he wanted it kept in one piece.

A quick change of subject, my screen font has just gone bigger but only on this forum. Is there a way to make it smaller again so there are more lines on the page or is it something the admin has done?
