PUPILS at North Kidlington Primary School studied circuses in 1984, and teacher Anna Lewis organised a visit to a real circus. Two of the children, Emma Howlett, seven, left, and Nicholas Ring, six, enjoyed a surprise offer from the professionals to be made up and become clowns for a day.
Gosford Hill School staged a production of Oh! What a Lovely War in 1969. In the middle picture, the Lancashire Lasses, left to right, Deborah Cox, Andrea King and Angela Taylor, read an imaginary casualty list. The cigarettes were presumably imaginary too!
In the bottom picture, taken at Gosford Hill School in 1963, pupil James Spencer shows headmaster Joe Ainley an instrument in the science room – the harmonograph that drew abstract shapes.
