A picture of the staff at Cardinal Newman school. My Dad, Eric Cooke top left, second row. He was a lab technician there. I found this whilst clearing some stuff up. I have no other names listed, sorry.

Third from right back row looks like Graham Naylor.

4th from the right, back row with the blonde hair looks like an ex amateur rugby league referee who's name eludeds me. Possibly, Southworth? Having said that, it may be a totally different person!

It is certainly a well staffed school.

I don't recognise any from the back two rows except top left - Mr Blob (haven't a clue what his actual name is).

Blonde on the front row in black and white check. Mrs McAllister?

I attended the school from 66 to 71. I remember most of my teachers,some seem to be missing from the photograph. Mrs Storey (geography) Mr Boardman (PE/football coach), Mr Swift (maths) and Miss Partington (music) to name but a few. Perhaps we finished them off in 71 and they had a career change.
