My current ‘vintage school story‘ read.

This 1951 story (the first in a series) concerns the Blake family, who move to a huge manor house which is sold to them by a family who can no longer afford its upkeep. The three girls of the family are enrolled at Melling, a weekly boarding school, and find when they get there that their new roommates are the daughters of their home‘s previous owner. Oh oh! 😆

A very well-written example of this genre.
