Around 40 former pupils returned to the Old Park Road site, now Roundhay School, for a big reunion this weekend. They shared memories of their time at the boy and girls schools between 1963-1970, and enjoyed refreshments and 1960s music.
The event was organised by former rugby player Irvin Gale, who circulated the news across Facebook. Former pupils travelled for miles to attend the event – even as far as Israel.
Our photographer Steve Riding captured these heartwarming pictures from the day.
