This is a picture that I believe is East Street School, both my mother and uncle went there between 1913 and 1920 ish,

Hope it helps.

Thank you Abiam
What a great photograph, my Grandfather who was born in 1889 probably went to school there as did his siblings

Hi Croydonian, and welcome to Roots chat,
I expect you have read this thread through and now know there are a few of us Maidonians around and happy to help if we can.
I was born there and lived in College Glen, Alwyn Road, Boulters Court and Littlewick Green.  Did you live in the area or did your family move on?
Cheers Abiam

Thanks for the link. I wonder if anyone has a photo of the girls??

My Grandfather moved to Croydon which is where he stayed until his death and where I was born. If I need any more help I know where to come, thanks

This is the only bit left of an old school photo (and smartened up by The RC photo experts)  of my Mum's that I think was taken about 1920 and I think it must have been East Street as St Lukes was all boys from age 11.  Any corrections welcome if you know more,

That's Ellington, Abiam. I'd recognise those windows anywhere..... 
It's the grass between the building and the side path.

Oh dear!  Sorry everyone.

Hi Lesanne,
I don't quite follow this.  My mother was born in August 1910 and left school in 1924/25 aged about 14 or 15.  If it didn't open until 1932 then the above picture cannot be Ellington.

Your quote about Ellington:

"I found the china mug... 60th Anniversary in 1992.
          1932"

So could she have gone to St Lukes?  I always thought that was boys only. Will have to do some more research,
