The children have scrubbed up well too Keith, clean, shiny faces !
Looks like a big clan of McNamara's .
There were a lot of McNamaras in those days and still some in the 1930/40's when I lived in Roby Mill. Several friends attended the school when Miss Miller was head teacher. I was a "prodi dog" and went to the other school!
A lovely photo and they all seem to be related.
They look like little angels. I bet they were all well behaved looking at the stern looking teacher.

Thank you for that info’ ‘winnie’. I noticed with interest that P D McNamara, (two of his children George aged 10 and Sarah aged 7 in 1911 and are in this photo) was born in Shifnal, a small historic market town, in 1861, a mere 10 miles from where I’ve lived for the past 52 years in the West Midlands. Shifnal was mentioned in the Doomsday Survey of 1086 and in 1245 Henry lll granted a weekly market on Mondays and an annual fair on the eve and day of St Matthew (21st September). Population now around 6,000.
