It certainly looks like the school yard (infants)on Ellsmere Road I was in Terrys class i knew him well.

my husband eric dobson went to st cuthberts and says he is sure that is the old st cuthberts

I went to St Cuthbert's (started in 1963). The classrooms were arranged in an L shape. I think the buildings were made of wood. As you walked in from Elmsmere road, there was a stand alone classroom - 'the baby class' (1st year)to the right, then on the other side of the entrance was a line of 4(?) classrooms then a right angle turn and a couple of other classrooms. Along the playgound side of the classrooms was the Verandah, which is what you can see in the background. If I remember rightly the headmistresses office was upstairs -I think she was Miss Boardman. In the top corner of the verandah was a Statue of the Virgin Mary, I remember she was stood on a very large bunch of black shiney grapes.

Yes i remember Miss boardman, her office was upstairs in the far right, and the only classmate i remember was a girl called Mary Stridgeon, The school was made of wood, i would love to see a full picture of the school.Good days ...Mike
