Thanks Jak. You did well, that photo is the missing link in my school photos. I started school at Colgates in 1958 and went on to Harehills and Foxwood. I have been searching for a picture of Coldcotes for over 4 years. Well done Jak.. Mick..

Jak. I never suffered the crash landing of the Jammy. I moved on to Harehills SHS, but would love to see more photos.

I probably should know, but what school was the Jammy? I was at Osmondthorpe School up to 1955 when I left on passing my 11 Plus. I believe Ossy school is now demolished.

The jammy was a wall at Coldcotes Senior School you got thrown over as part of an initiation ceremony ... not this little black duck tho' I went from Coldcotes Juniors to Foxwood.

The Jammy is in the picture probably but obscured by the tree ...

Thanks zip55. When I went to Cockburn High School in 1955 there was a similar thing where older lads tried to catch you on your first day of starting and throw you over a wall (that was low though). I was only small but I managed to avoid being caught.

It was great to see in the papers today that Colton School was in the top ten primary schools in Leeds by results this year. It's good to know that, despite having been massively expanded and having had its original Victorian building and walled playground demolished to make way for luxury housing, it's still providing the great start to life for kids that it did when I went to it from 1949 to1955 when it was called Templenewsam Colton County Primary School.
