Headmaster Mr. Nelson.
Maybe someone can fill in the missing names.

Is the girl next to Gwyneth, Pam Hurst?

Blimey, Anne, it IS my sister Pam Hurst, next to Gwynneth.Pam died in 1994. Weird to see Nelly again. (Mr Nelson)

It is David Fry on back row next to Frank Brindle.

i remember starting this school in 1993 having lessons in the old school building which was really creepy. i remeber when it was finally knocked down all the old bottles that was under it i think i still have one or two at my mums.

front left David Chapman?

Middle row right is Judith Lane
Front row - David Chapman, Billy Cunliffe

I am not in this picture but I remember everyone who is.Irene Atherton was my best friend in junior school and I often had lunch at her house,they were very happy times.Mr Nelson was another thing,straight out of a Charles Dickens novel.

I was looking through old photos of St Peter's when i realised that this would have been my class if we had not moved to Birmingham in 1957. I remember Janet Locket with whom I exchanged letters for a few years and David Johnstone who had a wonderful train set. I remember sitting on the steps at Bryn station with him watching trains and getting into trouble with Miss Green (my aunt) for being late. I wonder if anyone remembers Mrs Sharratt as a teacher
