Class Photographs - A Brief History

Class Photographs - A Brief History

From what we’ve found so far the earliest official class photos have originated from 1961 - 1963. The only other group photos taken were of sporting teams who had won trophies, mainly from the 1950’s.

After 1963 a format was introduced whereby pupils had individual portraits taken. These proved to be more popular with parents than the class photos as they could now frame them and clearly see their children.

The photos when printed came in a pack of three various sizes; one large, two medium and four small passport sized prints. The medium sized ones were ideal for giving to grandparents; the large would be framed for the living room whilst the passport sized ones could be put in wallets and in later years inserted into clear perspex key-ring holders.

Schools soon realized that parents would often want their other children in the photos too; so from the mid 1960’s to 1976 individual portraits were taken of pupils with or without their siblings.

If their siblings were pre-school age they too were taken in on the designated time and day for the photo-shoot.

This system continued until 1977 when the official class photographs were reintroduced for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Year. As these proved to be successful with parents, the class photos were reintroduced and continued again until approximately 1981. After that time the individual portraits were reverted back with just sporadic years having class photos. From what I can gather, the sporadic years being 1985, 1988 through to 1992.

The only time a photograph was taken of the entire school classes and teachers was in 1985, this more than likely would have been taken as it was the schools 75^th anniversary.

Here are three examples of the individual portraits taken in the late 1960’s all kindly donated by Louise Mathers nee Nield.

1968

1969

1970

Louise and her elder sister Glenda left the village in 1971 for Coleman Road Junior School in Leicester before emigrating to Australia in April 1972. The photo taken in 1968 was Louise’s first year at the school. From school reports that she still has a teacher comments that her stories were ‘uninteresting and repetitive’ whilst her elder sister Glenda was ‘a pleasure to teach’!

Glenda can also be seen in the 1971 photos of Miss.Broomfield’s class. These photos were taken personally by Ann Burdett nee Broomfield and were not available for parents to purchase.

The photograph below is a scan of the school’s 75^th anniversary photo taken in 1985. (If you double click over the photo it will enlarge)

Many thanks to Louise Mathers in Australia for her photographs and to Linda Austin for the 75th Anniversary photo.

Halloween Party Afternoon - October 1979

Newbold Verdon Primary School
Halloween Party Afternoon For Year 4 – October 1979

These pictures were all taken in October 1979 during a Halloween party held in the classrooms of Ann Burdett & Pete Rayers.

Games were played such as retrieving chocolate from flour and biting into apples covered in chocolate and buckets of water. Everyone wore their swimming hats whilst taking part as well as wearing smocks used for painting.

In this picture Pete Rayers with Year 4 pupils of 1979/1980.

In this picture Michelle Hammond is in the background with Michael Boulton overlooking Darren Downing.In the front with the red top is Tanya Astill.

In this picture from left to right: Jane Griffin, Graham Preston, Johanna Hayes biting into a chocolate covered apple, Andy King, Neil Cody, Yvonne Beck with I think Paul Langton in the background.

Clearly featured in this picture are Karen Freeman, Sharon Coles, Darren Downing and Graham Preston in the background. Overlooking Karen and Sharon is Michelle Hammond. At the opposite end of the table is Paul Langton with the cream jumper, Alison Wadsley and Nathan Vesty leaning over.

Simon Lane retrieving an apple from flour.

Teacher Ann Burdett without glasses! I can clearly remember her doing this, everyone was shocked at seeing her without her glasses and the speed at which she went gung-ho into the flour.

Jane Griffin and Karen Freeman watch on as Michelle Hammond attempts to bite into an apple in a bucket of water. Yvonne Beck is seen in the background to the left of Karen.

Michelle Hammond, Tanya Astill and Simon Lane watch on as Richard Lewis bites into a chocolate covered apple. Karen Shaw is seen blindfolded awaiting her turn with Ben Heath behind her. In the background to the left is I think Paul Kendall with flour on his face with Karl Southwell keeping clear.

Many thanks to Ann Burdett for all of these photos.
