It was a decade when many youngsters grew up watching Teletubbies and playing with Tamagotchis or Furbies.
Roald Dahl’s last book hit the shelves and a new children’s publishing sensation arrived, with the release of J. K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter book.
For younger listeners, the decade was soundtracked by bands including Take That and the Spice Girls.
This retro photo gallery shows pupils at primary schools around Sheffield during the mid to late 90s, and some of the staff who taught them.
