The Teachers (1976)


... this was my era too ...

A wonderful note from Terry McNulty, a teacher in 1976 - and a fascinating picture. I do recognise some of those faces too!!!

Terry writes....

I thought that the Association might be interested in the picture below, along with the staff names which I can recall - I have attempted to describe their locations on the photograph. After so many years it is impossible to remember all of them but some former pupils/staff may be able to fill in the gaps.

The photograph is somewhat faded by now having been on display in my study for many years, however Caz has informed me that the webmaster is a bit of a technical wizard and he may be able to enhance it [NOOOOOOO!!!!! It's not true!!!!!] . I was on the staff at that time (History and Careers Education). I was assisted in identifying some of the staff by my very good friend and former Kent School colleague David Evans who was a Chemistry Teacher at Kent in 1976 but who unfortunately was not present on the day that the photograph was taken. He sends his best wishes to the Association.
