Secondary to Grammar
Although the source currently given states that Mexborough Secondary School changed its name to Mexborough Grammar School in 1931, it also goes on to say that the school continued to be known as Mexborough Secondary until well into the 1940s and that, indeed, printed forms used in that period were headed "Mexborough Secondary School". Furthermore, in first-person accounts, published by Mexborough & District Heritage Society, former pupils speak of starting at the school and in I'm therefore inclined to believe, that whatever organizational changes were made in 1931, the name itself was not changed until 1946 – probably as a result of the implementation in 1945 of the 1944 Education Act.
 * at the beginning of the Second World War when the name was Mexborough Secondary School
 * September 1946 (just after it had changed its name from Mexborough Secondary School)

I would also be interested to know the date of the secondary modern school, as I have yet to track this down. -- Picapica (talk) 02:21, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
