There are 27 children in all and one of the older students in the middle of 3 rows, is holding a small child.
The front row children are sitting on a bench, middle and back row are standing.
Tree foliage and the school building is behind the entire group.
Boys are dressed in knickerbockers, jacket, shirts, knee length socks and boots. The girls are in mid calf length frocks with longish sleeves and cowl neck lace collars. Some button boots can be seen.

Historical information

In the photo there is 1 teacher (Mr. William Henry Perrin), 1 sewing mistress (Mrs. Elizabeth Perrin, nee Woolhouse), 13 male pupils, 13 female pupils, 1 infant (female).
