Apologies to anyone on the photo whose name I've spelt wrong, I'm sure I've got everyone's name correct but it was just shy of 40 years ago !!!!
Seems like yesterday, very happy memories of Woodfold it was a great school with headmaster good old Mr Weald in charge.
Other teachers names I can remember are Mrs Goodman, Mrs Woods, Mr Watkinson & Mr Roberts

I think the little boy at the back next to the teacher, David Schofield, could be my nephew (through marriage). Did he have a sister Diane? Was his mum called Joan and his dad Jim? And did he live on Preston Road?

Kathleen your right on all points, I remember he had to stand on the back row that day as he'd ripped the sleeve of his jumper & they wanted it out of view.
I think he lives in Wales now, his Mum still lives in Standish on Preston Rd.

Sadly Mrs Hilton passed away at the end of. July 2014. She was an inspiration to thousands of children and teachers.
