Left to Right in blocks: 2nd Year Boys, 4th Year Boys, 3rd Year Girls, 4th Year Girls, 2nd Year Girls, 3rd Year Boys, 1st Year Boys. 5th Year Boys are seated either end of the staff. 5th Year Girls are standing behind staff. They have a soft jumper which was blue. 1st Year girls are on the mats.

In the picture, the boy marked ??? A had a surname beginning with H. I think he lived in the thatched cottage on High Street, next to The Manor.

There are several families shown. Not all the Smiths are connected, only Linda and Ellen. The two Gunn's next to each other are completely different families.

The Staff are:
