I am bottom row 4th from the left. I am terrible at names but my best friend was Judith Hinchcliffe bottom row 4th from the right. The boys were Tim, Peter and Julian, they used to tease the girls, probably because they were so outnumbered and anyway they had to leave at 7/8 years old.

What a great photo. I never realised that junior school age children were at the Standishgate site (the 'big school'). I started at ND in 1970, up at the Hollies for a year then we moved down at the start of our second year.
By the way, if you are on facebook, there is a closed group for ex Convent girls.
