Mr. Thompson, Mr. Moffat, Mr & Mrs. Hogbin.........the memories are flooding back. Mrs. Milverton! Bad for you if you were useless at PE and games. And those Domestic Science aprons - we had to make them. and Miss Terry - she taught us how to boil hankies in a saucepan.Thanks so much for posting this.

[TheAnn2shoes]

@kcorclux No, I started the year after, but my sister happily gave me daily reports of the filming. We lived just opposite the school and when it was on TV I kept running to the front window and looking out, then looking at the telly!
