What was a typical day like in the 70s schools of South Tyneside?

Did it pan out like ours did in this selection of 15 photos from the decade?

We have selected a series of images showing everything from art classes to gymnastics lessons, and school meals to playtime.

Do you remember school milk or taking your cycling proficiency test after lessons ended? We have got it all.

Take a look at our photos and see if they bring back schoolday memories.

After school, many children took their Cycling Proficiency Test such as these children at Biddick Hall Junior School in 1978.
