I might think of the others yet...bear with me
The teacher is Mr Taylor

I also have somewhere a copy of this photo with the names on the back. When I find it I'll post all the names. For now, I can add the following from memory:
Top row: I can confirm David Reid and David Turner
Middle row: the unidentified girl is Joan Naylor
Next Row: David Saxon is next to me; it's Peter Taylor (not Brown)
Next row: I'm pretty sure it was Sylvia Hayton and Judith Entwistle.
Bottom two: The unidentified person is Philip Whitter

The girl sitting on chair second from right is Kathleen Eccleston. So that's everyone identified part from the 2 girls on the left of that row. If you're reading this, feel free to get in touch with me!

I think the girl 2nd from the left on second row (top) Is Joan Naylor

54 years ago! I like to say it seems like yesterday but I'd be lying. Sad the school was demolished but the toilets without a roof were a problem when it rained. The photo brings back happy days of trainspotting on Ryland's field with Alan Sankey, Harry Smith et al

Hi Alastair,
Just spotted your comment, as I haven't visited the site for a while. I also remember the trainspotting days. As you say the school was demolished, but the church is still there. I still go there for concerts, and more sadly, funerals, the most recent of which was just today. Please feel free to get in touch (amarflow@blueyonder.co.uk)

Hello all. Did anyone keep a diary that would tell me when the school terms started and finished. I know its a long shot but it would help with my research into my earlier years. Thanks in anticipation. Chris

How lovely to see this. My father Leslie Taylor was the head at the time. He always remembered his past pupils. Helen
