The building of Golden Flatts Primary School, in Seaton Lane, started in 1948, with the infants' school opening in 1950 and its junior school in 1951.
It was originally built to have six infant classrooms for 240 children and nine junior classrooms for 360 pupils.
Today however, the school looks very different.
