The Gazette of 15 July 1955 carried the above picture of fourth year (Year 6)  boys dancing the Flamborough Sword Dance.  The caption ran as follows:

SWORD DANCERS: Children from the fourth year class of Breakspear School, Ickenham, practising the Flamborough Sword Dance which they will perform to-night in a folk dancing display in the school playground as part of a series of open-days run by the school this week.

There was also an article and this is given on page 4 of the archive for 1955.  
Below we present further photographs of the dancing.
