| Description | This bundle contains further bundles of documents, each relating to an individual child. Each child's bundle contains copies of some or all of the following (depending on the child's circumstances): the parents' marriage certificate, baptism certificate and a birth certificate. All pupils' bundles contain a form that has been completed in order to recommend the child for admission to the school, these forms contain information on: the parents (their address and occupation), a 'medical certificate' (that is, a signed declaration that the child is free from illness or deformity), an extract of Rule 19 as to whether a child is eligible for nomination or not and a note on what a child is expected to bring, when admitted.
'Admitted by purchase' appears to reflect the fact that subscribers who were able to donate £60 in one year (or £65 over 3 years) were able to admit a child at any time of the year and seemingly from anywhere (cf. 'Rule XIX' which can be found printed in the front of the annual reports - MS 1622 1/5).
The bundle contains further bundles for 28 pupils. |
