Brookfields Ellen Street School

This is a class photo of my Grandad taken in 1930/1931 at Ellen Street School, did anyone's family go there during those years, maybe they are in the photo??

My Grandad is in the third row back, fourth from the right, handsome little chappy wasn't he :)
 
he was a handsome little chap wat a lovley picture, i know noone in the photo but just thought i would comment, where is ellen st school
 
What a brilliant photograph, my late nan could well be on there too.

Ellen street was in Brookfields the four streets that bounded the school were
Pitsford Street, George St West, Prescott Street and Ellen Street, it wasn't far from the Mint in Icknield Street, the school was destroyed in WW11 by bombing.
 
It would be nice if she was Dib, took me a while to work out which one was my late Grandad, but got there eventually, wasn't sure if it was my nan at first as i've never seen the picture before, found it whilst searching threw my late Nans things, also found his school report from Burberry Street, amazing things to have :)
 
Grandad was born 1925 he lived on Ellen Street for some time. I only clicked it would be him when an old neighbour said oh i went to Ellen Street same as your Grandad, then i knew it was him, just had to find him lol
 
Do you know there is a distinct possibility that she is on the far left second row, looks exactly like my cousin Susan (her daughter), can you tell me please, there seems to be some sort of distortion on the posted image going down on the left hand side, is that on the original photograph too, or just on the scan?
 
It's a scan of the original, i don't quite know why it's gone distorted, didn't realise when i did it, i'll see if i have the original and rescan it, if not will get dad to do it later for me if it's at his, be great if it is her. I notice none of them look particularly happy lol

My step mother went to Ellen St in 1907 and was taught by a Miss Holmes. Sorry no photo. Miss Holmes went on to teach at Camden St school, and taught me needlework during the 1950's. she was a tyrant.
 
Ellen Street, Hockley. I think that my mother is 3rd row, sixth from the right handside with a white bow in her hair.
