Hi Raggy
I think you are referring to De La Salle Salford ??
No I did not attend there though I did take and pass the entry examinations.
I also passed for St. Bede's which was also a Roman Catholic Grammar school.
At the time I lived in Altrincham and as I passed the entrance exam my parents decided that they could not economically afford to send me to Manchester or Salford when we lived in walking distance of Altrincham Grammar School. I was advised not to attend any non- Catholic Classes or attend Morning prayers.
I was followed by my son and now one of my grandsons.
Cheers
Mike
