This must be the first school photograph of the formative Francis Bacon school community. It began, as so many schools did, in the premises of the former Alma Road Board School. The picture is probably of 1961 vintage. Until its opening there had been a serious shortage of grammar school places in St Albans, and by opening it as a mixed school, it satisfied the requirements of both girls and boys on the same site. I count 70 pupils and 6 members of staff in its opening year.

By recognising a few students in this photo you may be able to identify the year the picture was taken.

Presumably a netball team, and for an unknown year. Perhaps there are seven ex students who can identify themselves in this photo.

This, and the photo below is undoubtedly the combined sixth year, but, we wonder, for which year. How about telling us who you are in this line-up!

You may be busy getting on with your lives but we would like to know whose you all are, and possibly how your careers have panned out since leaving school.
