Photograph showing the exterior of a building with brick sides and a front of windows and blue panels at the top of a small slope; another block can be seen in the distance; approximately thirty children wearing blazers are standing in front of the building, which has been described as Grammar School, Peterlee

Date: 1960 - 1969

This is later than 1969 as girls were not permitted to wear trousers at this time. I left this school in 1968. It was not until roughly the mid 70s that girls wore trousers as part of the uniform. I taught at another secondary school in Peterlee and remember the staff discussing just such a move.
