Thanks guys :)
So it looks to be: Has hardly been....... years. Reason given for no previous school attendance.
There is another little bit on the page which I cannot read if I may trouble you further....

I believe it reads ...
Has had ring worm nearly a year, reason ^given^ for no previous school attendance
(Ringworm was a very common cause of being off school.)

I think this second extract might read ... re. Woodbridge Rd
Perhaps the child removed to another school? Not sure about the W, so a bit more of the page might help.

I think so, too. It definitely is had and not hardly.

A big thank you to you all for taking the time to look and reply. I am happy to go with the 'Has had ring worm......"
Bookbox - Woodbridge Road would certainly make sense. Many thanks for your help.
