Not 100% certain about the date of this photo so any clarification would be appreciated. On the back row I can name Pey Leatherbarrow, Judith Robinson, Patricia Sharp, yours truly Philip Croasdale and Geoff Farrell. Next row down Frank Heyes, Tim Hampson (sadly got killed in a motorbike accident aged 23), Michael Derbyshire and David Taylor. Middle row (possibly) Karen Whittle, Diane Clarke. Next to front: Jacqueline Hughes (works in Tesco), Vicky Duckworth. Front row: Mark Palmer, Tony Paine and Peter Dylan Unsworth. Patricia Hayes will be in there somewhere; she and I were always vying to be top of the class. Not sure about some of the surname spellings.

Back row l to r Nigel Rose, P Leatherbarrow, Judith, Jeanette Shacklady, me, you, Geoffrey Farrell. next row l to r Carl?? Lee Broome, Frank, christopher Ellis??,Tim Hampson, M Darbyshire, ?? and David Taylor.
Next Susan Jones, Valerie Edwards, Julie Unsworth, Diane Clark, Rita?? (Moved away), ??Ellis poss related to Ellis above,karen Whittle, Diane Goulding and Janet Story. Next Janet Powell, Barbara (?), J Hughes, Terina Rigby, ??, Linda Rudd, Vicky Duckworth and Lesley Waite. Front row Mark Palmer, John Parkinson, ??, Tony Payne, Dylan, ?? Pat Heyes not there, she joined a couple of years later. Know the whereabouts of D Taylor, M Derbyshire, Facebook friends with Judith and still see Dylan

On closer inspection of the original photo there is a poster on the wall (top right) which states that the date is Wednesday May 5th. This would make the year 1965.

I was in this class but not on the photo. I regularly sat net to Nigel Rose and Linda Rudd. I remember a photo being taken outside, probably in 1968. I was a very quiet child!
