Ogley Hay Junior School Class 41 in 1963 – a beautifully scanned photo kindly sent in by Malcolm Kelly. Click for a larger version.
A lovely photo comes in via reader Malcolm Kelly, who’s dug out an excellent photo of Class 4A at Ogley Hay junior Schooling 1963, and is wondering if readers can help with the faces he can’t recall?
It seems there’s some overlap with the 1964 Shire Oak School photo I posted over Christmas.

Hi Bob,
A happy new year to you and all your many readers. I hope that you may find the attached photo of interest. It shows Ogley Hay Junior school Class 4A (Mr Riley’s class) and was taken towards the end of the school year 1963. Quite a few of the faces appear in the recent Shire Oak Grammar school picture from September 1964.

Previously I’ve featured an Ogley School staff image and also reader and local historian Andy Dennis has sent me a couple of lovely school group photos featuring his mother, thought to be from the 1936 sports event at Chase Terrace, which was mentioned by Peter ‘Pedro’ Cutler in comments to the same post.
Thanks to Malcolm for a great picture, if you can add anything, please don’t hesitate: comment here please or mail me – BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com.

I think maybe the girl on the end of row two with her head bowed may have been my mom, Irene Slatcher??? Not sure if even the right year but looks like her?
3rd row up, 4th from the right is Glennis Hopkins, now my sister-in-law…
Sorry, wrong picture commented on…..
I remember many of the faces on this photo. I was in class 4A in 1965 then went on to SOGS the following year. My sister Sue Woodward (nee Bullock) was in the year in between.
What a blast from the past I remembered a few Jennifer Tonks
