Good report in the 1906 papers for Broomhill and Red Row Council Schools evening classes:


BROOMHILL AND RED ROW COUNCIL SCHOOLS.
A perusal of the report of examinations in connection with the Evening Schools and classes carried on by the Education Committee during the past winter, which has been recently issued, affords much interesting and instructive information in regard to the extent and quality of the educational work done throughout the county in addition to the ordinary day schools. No less than 14 subjects were open to be taken up in the county, and for these there were 1,895 papers worked. 1,176 (or 62 per cent) of which gained certificates. The Broomhill and Red Row Schools have more than maintained the high position of excellency which they have sustained during past years. In addition to the special mention for the general excellence in needlework tests, a county prize has been awarded for needlework to the Red Row School. The Broomhill Council School worked 72 papers, securing 15 firsts, 27 seconds, and 15 passes; and the Red Row School presented 41 papers, gaining 8 firsts, 17 seconds. and 11 passes, giving a total result of 87 per cent of passes, being considerably above the county average, a fact most creditable to the teachers. And testifying to the thoroughness and ability with which they have performed their work.
