Loftus Junior School Staff 1997/8

This image caused a lot of debate regarding dating; we now know the staff to be:

Back row: Mrs S. Redding, Mrs. S. Doe, Mr I. Scott, Mrs H Ward, Miss J. Longster, Mrs. S. Sansom.

Front row: Miss V. Ogden, Mrs. K. Sanderson, Mrs J. Dadd, Mr. D. Parks, Mrs. G. Thomas, Mrs. S. Metcalfe , Mrs. M. Toulson.

Alexandra tells us: ”I was at Loftus Junior School between 1998 and 2003, all these teachers taught me. I think it is probably 2000, as I think Miss Ogden left in 2000.” We now believe the image was taken in 1997/8; as James McGill tells us: ”I left Loftus Juniors in September 2000 and my mum (Mrs McGill) was a teacher there for my last two years there and she’s not in the photograph. I think this is possibly 1997/8 school year. Mrs Ward (then Miss Knight) started a year before my mum came to the school. It was also Mr Parks first year as head teacher.”
