The photographer did a good job getting all the kids to look straight at the camera and keep still (except the lad on the front row third from the left who must have been a right little fidget)
Notice all the front row have their legs neatly crossed. And what about the varied hand knitted pullovers and cardigans, no official school uniforms in those days. The little chairs they are sat on were the national school standard chairs that everyone would put onto their desks at the end of the day before final prayers. Good memories for someone who was a similar age back in 1963

Cracking photo. I went to Crooke very briefly about ten years after this, but only for about half a year before we moved to Abram, but I always have fond memories of the place. My daughters went to a birthday party at the Methodist hall next door recently, and I had a walk round the school - It's tiny! amazing how your memory plays trick on you when you;re small.
Hello Paul Wilson by the way..regards from the Cheetham family
