Tina - that is fantastic - if you know the area in Wales and key in the towns name it should come up with the local papers name - and from there you can contact them good luck she

Hi Tina, Tried to get you earlier on the members board, but board playing up, (then), and could not get on. Anyway, re your search for school photo,s, have you, or can you, visit or write to the present head of the school to ask if any school photo,s were taken during the period you need. (sports days, school plays etc) Or you could request the name of the company that may have taken individual pupils photo,s. Also our daily paper often covers school events, with pages of different schools photos, could you look at your local "rags" archives?. Sorry if I am mentioning things that you have already thought of, Good luck with your search. Mick.
