Here's a school photo from when I was in the upper sixth at Cotham Grammar School in Bristol.
Does anyone recognise himself in it? If so, please send me a note, I'd love to hear from you!
I've added the names I think I know - hover your mouse over a face and the name should be shown...

Cotham Grammar School Prefects 1970-71

And here's another one I've just (Aug 2003) rediscovered, from the year before.
This time the names were printed on the picture mount, so again hover your mouse over a face and the name should be shown.
Where I think I can remember the first name, I've added that it brackets.

In September 2006 I was contacted by Derek Rosser who said "I was interested in your pictures from Cotham Grammar School. I too attended the school BUT much earlier (1940-1946). I have a photograph of the school ATC flight taken in the final year of the war. The Headmaster was Mr S R Woods (Wackem Woods)"

A newspaper article said:

"This photograph shows the cadets of No 4 Flight - 1945 Squadron Air Training Corps in 1944-5.
They were from the upper-sixth form at Cotham Grammar School.
The 1,2 and 3 Flights were from Bristol Grammat, QEH and St Brendans.
Parades were held on Tuesday afternoons at QEH, followed by aeronautical subject courses at Bristol Grammar and Cotham.
In the school holidays there were camps and air experience at local RAF stations.
Most of the cadets had started at Cothatm in September 1939.
However, there was a delay because No 3 Survey Regiment of the Royal Artillery were set up in the playground. Their HQ is now the current sixth-form block.
Most of the cadets left in July 1945, having spent the war at School."
