There were 729 pupils in the summer term 1919 and to accommodate the extra numbers 24 Dover St has been temporarily occupied. The Board of Education has refused to allow the school to buy the Priory Estate in Didsbury and therefore the Day Memorial Committee has revived the plan to build a gymnasium.
