If I remember correct, I can fill in a few names here :-
Back Row, ? Kevin Sinclair, Momad Abdul Aziz (Zapher), Alan Stretch, ? Kenny Bell, ? ?
2nd Row, Richard Wrench, Myself, Andy Fishwick, ? George Leach, ? Tom Fowler, Tommy Fairhurst, David Haywood, Jimmy Bolton
3rd Row, ? Moureen Parker ? ? Susan Ashurst
Front Row, Eileen Scholfield, ? Joyce Carr, Mr Miller, Katherine Lowe, ? Christine Ormshaw

I can rember the faces of others but not the names, it would be nice if someone could fill in the blanks. Brenda carter 's name has been mentioned but I'm unsure if Breda is in this photo.

Yes, this is Class 3A from 1962/63. I'm 3rd row, 4th from left. This was my last year at Whelley as I passed the 14-plus and was transferred to the Grammar School in 1963. Instead of leaving Whelley with zero qualifications, I went on to get a degree at university and became a civil engineer. Amazing how life can take a sudden turn.
