I was fascinated by Nigel Molden’s story of the cigarette card with the COS insignia. I would guess that it dates from the time before the word “High” was added to the title, which I would place some time in the 1920s or early 30s.
It would be interesting to know something about the timing of, and reasons for, the changes from Oxford High School to City of Oxford School.
On the matter of the School’s high profile, I remember there was a photograph in the School library showing the School taking part in (and, I assume, winning a race in) the Public School Sports some time in the 1920s.
