attended St Barnabas Church of England infant and junior school. The boys then went on to the Boys Higher Grade School at Paradise Street in Cambridge. The school charged 6d. a week for boys under ten and 9d. a week if they were older. The Cambridge school had a good reputation and qualified for grants from the Science and Art Department at South Kensington. One feature of the school was the Science Classes, which were held in conjunction with the Science and Art Department in South Kensington with examinations held in May of each year with the papers set by its examiners for the Science classes all over the country. The Brocks seemed to feature every prize day, they were certainly some of the most famous pupils. At the first Old Boy's meeting in April 1907, the third Headmaster, the Ref C. J. Smith said that the Brocks had made the school famous. While the boys attended the Boys' Higher Grade School on Paradise Street, the girls attended the Girl's Higher Grade school.
