	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

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

	I was at grammar and we had 1 double lesson of needlework and 1 double domestic science a week but I ditched them after 3rd year.

	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!
