The records show the children admitted to Dolphin Lane Council on the day
it opened came from one hundred and fifty seven different schools. However,
the admission figures for Acocks Green Infant School and Acocks Green Junior
School distort the overall picture of the school’s initial intake as the
vast majority, if not all the children noted, had moved into their new homes
and attended those schools temporarily while awaiting the completion of the
new school in Dolphin Lane.
No previous school was noted for one hundred and two children admitted on
the day the school opened. Of these ninety-six were young children attending
school for the first time but there were also six older children admitted
with no previous school recorded.
