Super St Leonard's in a series of fantastically retro photos from the Sunderland school

St Leonard’s Catholic Primary School in the picture from 1974 to 2023.

It’s time to go back to the classroom as we turn the clock back for another look at a Sunderland school’s past.

This time, it is St Leonard’s Catholic Primary School in the picture and we have scenes from 1974 to 2023.

Whether it was Nativity scenes, great Ofsted reports, artwork or a reading session, we have it all in these Sunderland Echo photo memories.

We also have a bulb planting session from 2014 and staff showing their support for Sunderland in the 1992 FA Cup Final.

There’s plenty more besides so have a look and see how many of these scenes you remember.

Or perhaps you would like to tell us about other types of nostalgia you would want to see in our retro section.

It might be memories of your favourite shop, club, nightclub or restaurant. Maybe you want to get back in touch with former workmates from a Sunderland factory, or with pals who you went to school with.

Or perhaps you would like to share memories of a sporting occasion in the past which you would like to revisit.
