The Missing Fourth Form
It should be noted that the Forms were renumbered, under Mr. Wrenn, in Summer 1948, with the result that all those in the second and third forms in
1947-48 remained in second and third forms in 1948-49 . The top stream in the fourth year went on to become fifth formers BUT their compatriots,
in the lower streams, remained fourth formers.
Thus, Brian Horn in IIIA went into the following classes:
in Summer 1946 he was in IIA1
in Summer 1947 he was in IIIA
in Summer 1948 he was in IIIA For the first year a first form was at the school!!
in Summer 1949 he was in VA Hence he missed the 4th form, which his predecessors would have taken!!!!
