Which manchester schools took part in the 1929 recording of nymphs and shepherds?

When did the song Nymphs and Shepherds cease to become part of the choral tradition in schools in England and when was the famous Manchester Children's Choir recording made?

I think it was recorded in 1941. My Dad went to Skerton School at that time and belonged to the choir there. They were in Morecambe at the time Nymphs and Shepherds was recorded, and were asked to take part in the recording to make up the numbers. They rehearsed for a couple of hours before the recording!!! I have no idea when the question was asked,having seen it this morning when attempting locate a copy of the famous recording. I had the original 78 version back in 1944! The recording was made in the mid-thirties. Sir Hamilton Harty was the conductor and he died in 1941. I know nothing of the 'Tradition' ceasing, sorry.
