HC Deb 19 November 1936 vol 317 cc1906-7
49. Mr. SHORT

asked the President of the Board of Education how many scholars will be accommodated in the new Doncaster Grammar School; and how does this compare with the accommodation at present provided?

Mr. STANLEY

The new Doncaster Grammar School is intended to provide for about 500 to 540 boys. There are 556 boys attending the existing school, but 250 of these come from the area of the West Riding authority, whereas under the new arrangements, which will come into force when the new secondary school is opened at Adwick-le-Street, it is contemplated that only some 50 boys from that area will need to attend the Doncaster Grammar School.
