That would be "Happy Harry" Henderson who's there second left. He ended up as head of English at the High School where this photo was presumably taken. I'm wondering what the structure at the back is? Could it possibly be a HORSA hut - Huts On the Raising of the School leaving Age..... to 15 post-war? These went up latish 40s but that could well already be a fairly aged building, in which case the time wouldn't fit. The kids certainly seem to be dressed in the "austerity clothing" of the wartime or immediately post-war years.
