Following the news that children will not be returning to school until at least after the half-term break in mid-February, we thought we would remind some of our older readers of their schooldays.

So this week we show a selection of pictures of children at local schools in the 1950s.

With each picture we would like your help to identify the children shown, so if you recognise any of them please let me know by emailing deweymiked@aol.com or by phoning 01628 525207.

Shown here are some of the children at Green St School, High Wycombe, 1955/6:

This picture was taken in a classroom at Kingswood Primary School during what was probably a craft lesson, Totteridge, High Wycombe, c.1956:
