| The Hollies – Jennifer Eccles Lyrics | 8 years ago |

People outside the UK might not know what "found out I'd made the grade" is about. It refers to the results of the "eleven plus" exam that was (and in some counties, still is) given at the end of primary school, typically at age 11, which would determine what sort of secondary school a student would go on to attend. In this case, the singer has presumably passed the high level of the test, which would qualify him for grammar school (the academic path), and he wonders if Jennifer Eccles might have qualified to be in the same school as he next year. This bit shows that these two kids are most likely 11 years old, something otherwise not entirely obvious from the lyrics. |
