伊麗莎白女王女子文法學校的女學生在家政課中正在學習烹飪,而女王將會訪問該學校。
在 1950 年代和 1960 年代,如果通過 11 分以上的考試,人們要選擇男子或女子的學校。當時,大多數文法學校都是男子或女子學校。
這張照片非常有趣的一點是,女孩們正在學習烹飪。女子文法學校不僅是培養優秀的學生升讀大學。學生們也被裁培成為律師和醫生等中產階級的妻子。

This photograph captures the scene in which female students were taking a cookery class in the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School before the Queen visited the school.
In the 1950s and 1960s, if one passed an exam with a score of 11 or above, one had to choose to attend a boys’ school or a girls’ school. At the time, most grammar schools were either boys' or girls' schools.
What is interesting about the photo is that the girls were learning how to cook. Grammar schools for girls not only trained outstanding students to attend university but also nurtured wives of lawyers and doctors in middle-class families.
