The year must have been 1954 or 5, as I was born in 1949 and had just moved up from infants, I am on the mat in front to the right hand side. My pal Derick Lodge is in the front row on the left in front of Mrs. Marsh, Im afraid thats all I remember at the moment, I'll have another look later though, I still have my own original copy in good nick too.

Hi Brian Anthony Mcguinn,
Can I ask if you possess any photographs of the school itself. Inside outside anything if the school.
I’ve worked at the Care Home.. formerly the school for nearly 20 years and I’d love to display something for the residents to acknowledge the history of their home. The school and the squash club. Many thanks in advance
