The purpose of the issue of Attendance and Good Conduct tickets is, so far, unknown. A small number have been located, but no mention has been found in the minute books. There are indications that their issue was linked to the award of Reward Cards, Certificates and Prizes.
The 'Tickets' identified, so far, comprise:
- Two series of School Board for London Attendance tickets. (65x42 mm)
- One series of School Board for London 'Excellent Work and Conduct' tickets. (61x40 mm)
- One series of London County Council Attendance tickets. (65x42 mm)
The only documented indication of the use of these tickets comes from two Reward Cards of the LCC 'Fowls' series, that have written on the back 'for 5 red tickets'. Clearly large numbers of these tickets were printed; as the first SBL issue, dated 1895, indicates a print run of 1 million tickets.
