Title: Schools in Porth
Post by: eirwen on Sunday 20 October 13 15:19 BST (UK)

If one lived in Turbaville Terrace ? from 1908-1920 any ideas as to what schools the children might have attended. Also where would the admission records be stored.  Thankyou. Eirwen

Hello Eirwen  :)

I'm not familiar with the area, but if the records survive they should be held at Glamorgan record office in Cardiff. For example, Rhondda County Intermediate/Grammar schools, Porth records are there:

and I found this site which has some photographs of Porth schools:
