If you can locate the name of the school, also the probably dates when the girls attended - then the school archivist may be able to help.
Alternatively the school photographer may hold negatives.
Whether such records are accurate, may be a matter for some debate. With the cameras available in those days, pupils used to stand on one side of the picture and then dodge round the back and stand at the other end so that they appeared in the photograph twice. We had a picture with everyone wearing glasses and one or two pupils tried wearing wigs.
If found out you were beaten, but well worth taking the risk.
