Re Harold Wood:

You could try contacting the main library for the area, Romford Central Library. They have a Local Studies section.

I don't know if they have such old ER's there, but no harm in asking.

Sorry - sometimes you have to do the leg work in person. Electoral Rolls are arranged by address. Without a starting point such as the road name, its going to take you days/weeks to plough through them all

You might have to visit the LMA in person, or pay a researcher/archivist.
Added - if you're lucky, the discharge listing might say which school he transferred to.

Were his parents Charles J Day and Lydia S?

So born 1926? Although Ancestry has lists of school admissions and discharges, they finish before he was born.

If you know (or we can find) were he & his parents lived during his school years, you might be able to work out the nearest likely primary schools. It might not be quite so easy with Secondary Schools as a Selective system was in place - Grammar, Secondary, Technical. Can you have a chat with him and see if he is forthcoming?

from the above site

South Hackney School began its life as Lauriston Road Central School, which opened in March 1911 in an area that was then a fashionable suburb of London. After World War One air raids over London, the school moved into an existing school building in Cassland Road in 1917. It is believed that this Cassland Road building was the last Higher Grade School built by the London School Board before county councils took over responsibility for education in 1904.

The name of the school changed in 1913 to Hackney Council School, which reflected its role as one of the new central schools established in 1911 by the London County Council to provide education for brighter children whose parents could not afford the fees and who had not won a scholarship. According to Mr. Chew, Hackney Central's headmaster from 1911 to 1943, these schools 'were intended to put boys and girls on the road they could travel best'. Hackney Central Secondary School covered a fixed catchment area of elementary schools, and began with a commercial bias towards shorthand, book-keeping and typing. The syllabus developed towards more general education, although passing public examinations was not the primary aim of the central schools.
