 * Keep I found another book published by the press of the University of the West Indies called Cricket Nurseries of Colonial Barbados: The Elite Schools, 1865-1966 which says that Combermere is "perhaps the first school anywhere to offer secondary education to black children" and also says that the school "provided the Barbadian community with the vast bulk of its business leaders and civil servants " in its first 75 years. The book devotes 40 pages to this school.
