Taking a stab in the dark I would say it could be Farndon Street and Bread or Broad Street.

Hi Amanda
This is a link to the British History site for Warwickshire re Birmingham schools including dates, just in case this can help you further with identification.

You could also try the Birmingham Archives Department as they may have someone there who could help with dates and school identification.

Could it say "Board Scl" or something, as in "Board School"?
