We did cookery and sewing at my grammar school as well. In the 6th form we had a crash course on cooking for ourselves prior to going to Uni or college %3A-D %3A-D %3A-D

Yes, they were geared up to get children to University and academic careers Pat.
I didn't fit neatly into either school type

We only did cookery for a very short time when we were in Form 1 (Year 7)

I remember - always wash the glasses first then they'll be clean from domestic science Ann

We didn't have much in the way of domestic or trades/ skills lessons.
When I was in secondary it was the Grammar School system.

We had academic lessons mostly while the secondary modern next door had that type of lessons. I would have much preferred those!

Those lessons were a complete waste of time...especially the times when you were taught how to clean the in-house flat
