These photos were taken when I visited Miss Harris for the last time in April 1991.
I attended Northfield from about 1959 – 1969. I am so thankful I took them and hopefully others will be too. My surname was Corfield.

My late mother taught at Northfield in the late fifties, early sixties. Her name was Enid Toombs. I think it was when her good friend, Mrs. Diana Timms was there, either as HM or a teacher, I can’t remember.
Friends, Joanne, Caroline and Celua Walters were students there.
I know my mother loved reaching there, and she encouraged my wish to become a teacher too.
That has been my chosen profession. I met my husband at TTC and we were married in 1969.
We came to teach in Kenya in 1972 and fifty years later we are still here! Liz Scott. Eldoret, Kenya.
I was there 1963-66. I remember Miss Fleichman who inspired me to paint. I still paint! I remember two twins in our class, Annie and Sue who would swop classes. Remember Miss Timms and a french teacher who played the flute. Caroline Gadd was there around the same time and Maxine Radstone and the lovely Diane Clarke-Kern and Diane Stops (sister Anita). A sixth former I remember was Catherine Walker.
I remember Mrs Eldridge. She used to slap me in the face often for not wearing my green beret. I was there aged 8 for a year and would do Frank Spencer impressions with the beret on the bus to school.
Great photos! I was there until 1968 I think. Miss Harris headmistress and form teacher Mrs Timms. Wish we could turn back the clock. I feel so nostalgic sometimes
What great photos. I occasionally wonder where people are from my year. I left in 1971 having gone to Northfield in 1964 when Gartlett Scool closed.
Hi Diane – I posted the pix of our school, as described at the top of the first batch. They were so emotive and I couldn’t just leave them in a drawer.
Yes we were in the same class and I remember birthday parties at your home.
I remember Bryony too and so many others! I have a form photo – I think our teacher was Mrs Taylor and I can name most of the pupils.
Anyway this is a start. Carol Free (Corfield)
I would love to get in contact with more old Northfield girls. Those of us who left between 1971-73 are having a small get together May 20th at the Old Mill in Berko at 11:00. Anyone welcome.
You can find me on Facebook or on the Northfield School for Girls Facebook page.
Bryony Spencer, you were in the year below me!
I’m trying to post some old school photos but not having any luck 🙁
I’d love to know who these photos came from. I was at Northfield from Kindergarten through the 6th form. Carol Corfield was in my class.
