We were the first boys ever to attend King Ecgberts, we moved up from Abbeydale, up until then it'd been an all girls school, result was there were around three or four girls to every boy for that first year....I liked it.

Not quite sure what exercises are going on here. Looks a bit strange to me!

Could have been practicing for Empire Day, (1907)?
