During the six years I was at Oxbridge Lane Primary School, Stockton-on-Tees from 1985 โ 1991 I had a great time. The school was a large multicultural school with pupils from a variety of faiths. It had a good reputation in the area with hard working teachers who provided their pupils with a varied and interesting curriculum.
During this period I had responsibility for developing the maths curriculum, as I favoured a more practical, hands on, approach to learning, and PE, as I enjoyed sport, teaching PE throughout the school at times. Alongside activities organised by the school, I organised many additional school activities during my six years at the school, including the school football team.
I taught the older classes Primary 6,7 (Year 5,6), with a different class each year, except one year where I had the same class for two years. This class had some challenging pupils, but I had a wonderful two years with them, as we had a great understanding.
Here are a variety of general photos from 1985-86 which include class photos; some of our work on display; end of school year celebrations and individual photos. Some names are missing, but will be added as I remember or if anyone can supply names that would be good, as the memory is a bit rusty!

Hi Tom
These photos bring back so many memories of my primary school time. I don’t know who found these and shared them on Facebook but it has a lot of people talking.
Thanks for been the teacher you were to me. Especially as I think I might of been one of the challenging pupils.

Paul I’m happy that you had a memorable time at Oxbridge, these comments make it all worthwhile, where people can look back happily on their time in primary school.
Hi Tom
I remember taking part in the World CupI have a photo somewhere! I was 9 at the time. I also vaguely remember roller booting in the yard and netball. Was it you who also did either of these? Are you on facebook or instagram?
Your photos have time warped me back I hope Paul manages to get in touch with you about the reunion.
I often meet up with Mrs Williams (Margaret) she was my teacher for the last two years of primary school. I left in ’94. I could have sworn you were there later than 91. Mrs Williams seems to think your in Scotland now?
Hello Emma,
Thank you for taking the time to comment and I’m glad that you are enjoying them. I don’t recall your name so I guess you were never in any of my classes.
I am not on Facebook, I do have a quiet Instagram and twitter account. I have heard from Paul Cole, but he didn’t mention a reunion.
I definitely left in 91 and yes I am still living in Scotland ๐
