I have included a
photo
(no copyright) of the pupils in my year (c.1983) that you could
perhaps put in your archives. The names that go with the photo are (left

This is to offer some corrections and additional information about the Upper Sixth Form 1983 picture provided by Darren. For a start the person labelled as "Bibby" is me, Guy Robinson. I recall the picture session and climbing onto the stacked benches at the back. Bibby was one of the footballers and seeing my bland face in proximity to Paul Sawyer might have caused this confusion. Secondly Nagpole's and Rana's names are transposed in third row down. Next to Nagpole are the two people that Darren can't name. I can't name them either but I know they were two pupils who came from the secondary school on the same site. They were very pleased to be given the chance to take A-levels, if I remember correctly.

I've updated my page for the 1978-1985 year group at http://www.jondhayward.co.uk/WGSB/. Thanks to Steve Middleton, I now have a picture of some of Cray - probably taken in the late 1970s. I've e-mailed those for whom I have details in the hope of filling a few more gaps! |
Alan Mayne

I recently discovered a few old soccer photos from my years at school, and it would be interesting to see if anyone can fill in the gaps in this one of the 1st XI from 1964-65:- Back row: Colin Martin, Rod Hockin, ??? Brown, ??? Sebborn, Mick Cassell, John Cobell, David Rayburn Front row: David Cockburn, Alan Mayne, John Congdon, Mick O’Halloran, ??? Ray. I would appreciate any additions/corrections anyone can make. |

I have compiled a list giving teachers names with start/finish dates during my attendance at DTS. However, although I am confident that all the staff has been included, some date details are missing. Are there any school records that give these dates just so that I can complete the list? |
