Are you sure this is the Junior School? The boys look as if they are of early senior school age, and, as I recall, the Junior School classes were mixed (boys and girls).

Hi Barry, what a fabulous photograph. I went to the Juniors from 1964 to 1968 which was a few years later but I would be interested to know who the teachers were and where this picture was taken. Who was the head at this time?

I think you might be right John, the junior school was mixed so it must be senior school. 2b would be about 12 – 13 year olds?

My Dad is in the bottom row, 3rd from left – Cyril Stenning. He was born in 1938 so agree this must’ve been taken around 1950/1. Sadly Dad passed away in 1999 – thank you for posting this x

Hi
My dad Peter Cox is on the second row on the end at the left hand side. He remembers a lot of the faces.
