@Canny lass - Caroline Dobinson (nee Purvis [I think]) replied to my question with :-  ' This is Nedderton Village school it took pupils from 4 year old to 11 Netherton Colliery school Closed a few years earlier so anyone from the colliery went up to the Village school. There were 72 pupils there at its peak and there were three classrooms one large dining hall / pe hall the classrooms were big we had 3 teachers Miss Short Miss Dilgono I think Mrs Brydan replaced her but she left and died very young i have forgot the name of head teacher but can remember her very much.'  Then Glynis Lynn replied to Caroline with :-' Miss Grey was headmistress, after Miss Severs'.

Nobody has confirmed the year of 1967.

Having a bit of difficulty getting my head around the details in that photo! I recognise a relative, already named, but his age and the date on the photo don't quite match up. Also having difficulties with the building. Had the infant school at NETHERTON closed and had the pupils transferred to NEDDERTON? Netherton was an infant school but Nedderton was a Junior school.in my time. I'll have to do a bit of digging.

It could well be the rear of the building which faces the road in Nedderton village but I think the window panes were upright, same as the front of the building. Of course, they could have fitted new windows. Can't imagine where they fitted in 72 pupils!!

@Canny lass - I'll ask those that named the pupis to confirm year and school

This lot would be a few years behind you @Canny lass but can you recognise anyone?

Yes please Alan

Done - I will let you know if there is any response.

1970's - St Benet Biscop school at Ford Castle. Photo and all the names, that have been added, from  Lynn Oliver Dytham, No 33, off the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington.. 

@Ron Shields - just noticed this photo you posted  of Bedlington Station Junior School photo. Would you like me to add this photo to the Bedlington Station 1st School album (in the Historic Bedlington group of the Gallery) and see if I can get some names, from the Bedlington Facebook group members,  to add to your photo?  There is a photo of Miss Muter's class, taken in the same place and with the same benches,  from Les Lynn in the album that Les though was the early 1950's.

Photo from Les Lynn - Facebook Bedlington remembered group. Names from Les and members of the Bedlington remembered & Bygone Bedlington groups.
