Can you spot yourself or anyone you know in any of these photos from Dyke House School?

The school officially opened in 1946 and in 1973 became known as Dyke House Comprehensive School.

In 2011, the school was refurbished, with children being taken by bus to the old Brierton School site, in Catcote Road, before returning to the updated site in 2012.

Thousands of pupils have attended Dyke House Academy, as it is now known, over the years. Can you spot anyone you know?
