OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATION RESULTS PUBLISHED 4 SEPTEMBER 1936

In the Summer Examination session of 1936, full SCHOOL CERTIFICATES were awarded to 67.7% of ALL candidates entered. In this session, 11,556 candidates were examined in the British Isles and Overseas.

At TOTNES GRAMMAR SCHOOL, the following candidates were successful - the names of unsuccessful candidates were not made known.

To gain a full certificate, candidates had to pass five or more subjects including Maths and English. However if they failed  Maths and English, all subjects had to be re-taken. Repeat examinations were held in the following January for re-take students.

In each subject, there were three levels of success - Pass, Credit and Very Good. Students gaining Credit level or higher in at least  five subjects were granted exemption from Matriculation, meaning that they could by-pass a University's own admission examination. To pass the School Certificate examination with Honours you had to achieve a Credit or a Very Good standard in every one of your subjects.
