State the main phenotypes of these kids from two schools with the same name in Reading, SE England

[Tooting Carmen]

My place of birth. Both secondary schools are called Maiden Erlegh - the first one being the original one and located in the middle-class suburb of Earley, the second one being a recently-opened one in the inner-city neighbourhood of Park.

Never realised how multicultural Reading is now, pretty much indistinguishable from west London in general though with the white kids there being distinctly English looking, mostly mixes of Atlantid, Brunn, some nordics and subnordics. The girl on the left is one of the blackest non Nilotic looking Africans i have seen, you think she might be Kenyan? Not sure about Reading but the large majority of Africans in London are from Nigeria and Ghana with a few Kenyans as well

More likely Nigerian or Ghanaian. Actually, at least until relatively recently, most Blacks in Reading were from the Caribbean rather than Africa.

Btw, those schools are in East Reading, which along with the Oxford Road area is the most multi-ethnic part of Reading. For comparison, here is Highdown School in ultra-wealthy Caversham:

Quite variable phenotypes, there is no overwhelming type in this part of England as is to be expected, unlike Wales or some areas of the west where paleo/CM types seem more common.

And at the other end of the social spectrum, here is the John Madejski Academy in the deprived Whitley neighbourhood:

Although in some other British towns and cities the poorer neighbourhoods tend to be more multi-ethnic than the wealthier ones, this isn't quite the case in affluent Reading. Rather, the poorest and wealthiest neighbourhoods are both mostly White (though the proportion of ethnic minorities is still formidable), while the socially-intermediate neighbourhoods are the most multi-ethnic.

The ethnic/class profile seems quite similar to Wolverhampton/black country or parts of greater Manchester where you have some quite poor and white communities and more middle class Asian communities, perhaps in Reading unlike inner London a lot of the ethnic minorities don't tend to live in council estates.

Indians, and to a lesser extent even Caribbeans, are socially varied. The ones who are mostly poor are the Pakistanis and Bangladeshis - the former mainly live in the North and the West Midlands and the latter in East London.
