Hi Eric,
I was a pupil athe Bisley boys school frfom 1936-1941 and have a lot of memeories of my time there and
see that you are interested in a period around 1918 obviously before my time but in my searches I have come across quite a lot of information on the web which might interst you ie.1891 census at the school
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~engsurry/bisley/ss-1891.pdf.
There is another one that I will search as it gave details of a period about 1920 where there was obviously an epidemic and quite a few died in a very short space of time and I will try and recover it and forward.
The headmaster of my period was a Bertram L.Read which might be the one that you are looking for and I probably have a picture of him taken at on eof the Empire Day celabrations in 1937/1938 so feel ffree to contact me further if you are interested.
Regards John

G'day petert et al
I was at Bisley Boys' School from 1945-48. My dad was too old to enter the war and was seconded to Bisley to teach shoemaking. His name, Tom Winton. Freddie White was the tailor. Yes and I remember Mr Read. Blind as a bat, but he knew when a boy failed to salute him when passing.
I returned to Bisley in November '07. The school is no longer there. An estate of houses in its place, covering the school site, and the farm, and Cobbets farm across the road; all houses.
The chapel is now the village hall, and Topper's pond on which we used to slide in the winter has been drained to about 1/4 its original size.

hi eric
i am sorry i do not have any information in the 1910 period, i have some photos of young boys working in the bisley orchard cleaning the road and weeding ,the photo could date back to the 1900 period and maybe back before that.
i also have some photos of young boys in the band marching along the road dating back to the 1900 or before that, there is no way of nowing when the photos were taken.
you might try contacting the
surrey history centre,
130 goldsworth road,
woking
surrey gu21 6nd
i got most of my information from them.
good luck gerald
