this link will hopefully give you info on someone offering school admission look ups for Maesteg/Plasnewydd School Registers so may be worth asking if the poster has any info about Nantyffyllon school where the Rose Esther went before the girls school.

Doesn't the record say she went to Nantyffyllon girl's school? so both schools were girls schools.

I notice she left the minute she hit age 14, ie her last day was 15/11/17, and her recorded birth date on the school record was 14/11/03, which differs slightly from the date of birth on her death record, that seemed to be the default age to leave the school, although the school leaving age wasn'r raised to 14 years until 1918.

Found out why I couldn't trace brother Tom on the census ,he was much younger than Rose , maybe 14 years , so would have been too young for the 1911 census
