TitleSt Bernard's School Admission Register, 1939-1941
Date(s)1939-1944
DescriptionAdmission Register for St Bernard's during the period when the school had been evacuated due to the Second World War and was based in Englefield Green in Surrey. Volume is stamped '(0525) St. Bernard's R.C. Central School, Englewood, Ridgemead Road, Englefield Green' and in the School title is entered 'Egham, Station Road (L.C.C)'.

The volume contains an unused alphabetic index, which is followed by admission entries which date from October 1939 - November 1941. Generally there are a lot of admissions one specific dates rather than regular admissions on a daily basis. The range of information fields within the admission register includes: admission number; date of admission/re-admission; name of parent/guardian; address; exemption from religious instruction claimed; date of birth; name of last school attended before entering this school; date of last attendance at this school; cause of leaving; remarks. However, the records vary and in earlier entries many of the fields have not been populated.

After the main section of admission records (October 1939 - April 1940) there is an alphabetic list of entries entitled 'Englewood: from 29.5.40' which contains admissions dating from 1 September 1939 - November 1941. This is followed by a waiting list dated 11 December 1941. There are also some handwritten calculations at the back of the volume.
