Sheffield retro: 29 nostalgic photos capture primary school days in the 90s, including popular teachers

How well do you remember your time at primary school?

Is there an inspiring teacher whose impact you will never forget, and are there old friends you’d love to catch up with again?

If you grew up in the 90s, or your children or grandchildren were at primary school then, these photos might help jog your memory.

They capture treasured moments at schools around Sheffield more than a quarter of a century ago, from school plays to sports, cooking, gardening and fancy dress fun.

As well as the children, this retro photo gallery features some of the most popular teachers of the 90s, who made learning fun and helped give their pupils the best start in life.

Pupils are shown both hard at work and letting off steam in the playground, as well as saying a big thank you to some long-serving members of staff as they bid a sad farewell.

Do these photos bring back any happy memories for you, and can you spot yourself, an old friend or a favourite teacher?
