COLIN Profett and Rosalind Knowland, both 14, pupils at Marlborough School, were successful in a stamp designing competition run by the Post Office in Oxfordshire and Berkshire in 1973. Colin won the 13-14 age group class with his design on a European Common Market theme, while Rosalind came third with her drawing of a monk. About 2,000 children entered and the best designs were considered for future stamp issues.

Three boys at the school showed they could make bread just as well as the girls. Colin Greenwood, left, Philip Rioch and Michael Hackston are seen working hard as bakers in 1970.

Children at Woodstock Primary School carried out a traffic census outside the school in 1965. The idea was to give them practical exercise in mathematics and make them aware of dangers on the road.
