Coal Hill Academy had a board featuring the teachers and students that had died or were presumed dead as they had gone missing without trace. There were over 65 names on the board. The Twelfth Doctor noticed Clara Oswald's name on the board, noting "Time never forgets." (TV: For Tonight We Might Die) It was presumably made because, as Tanya put it: "Coal Hill has a body count higher than most." (TV: The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo)

People on the list

The list featured was J. Gibson, D. Hatcher and A. Okehurst: Joe Gibson, Dudley Hatcher and PE teacher "Ape" Okehurst. There were also three names after this: M. De Courtenay, S. Baasch and S. Tollemache, possibly referencing the three more unnamed students killed in the same incident. On 1 April 1963 the Cold killed them, with only Susan Foreman and Gillian Roberts escaping. (PROSE: Time and Relative)

Next on the list is H. Parson, the Headmaster, (PROSE: Nothing at the End of the Lane) who was presumably killed by the Imperial Daleks as a security risk, and a A. S. Alfredson who is possibly the missing caretaker. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)

S. Foreman, referencing Susan Foreman, the Doctor's granddaughter is on the list after leaving Coal Hill without a trace. (TV: An Unearthly Child) She did not return, (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) unlike her teachers. (TV: The Chase, The Day of the Doctor)

Following Susan's is a number of names: H. Passerini, L. Fletling, D. Gough, A. Fairchild, P. Smith, R. Thornton, E. Odell-Grey, S. C. Hackett, C. Christie, H. Lamonde, P. Hobbs, J. Thorburn, H. Sturzacher, L. Sleeman, D. Young, S. Wilard-Fleming, T. J Marsden, J. Owston-Tuff, W. Pickle, D. Roscoe, J. O'Brien, W. Tardif, B. Nagys-Kovacs, K. Yim, A. Nowak, P. Kakuszi, S. D. Michel, a Whitlock, C. Shelton, A. Rawlinson, K. E. Drinkwater, and L. Millikin.

Following those names is A. Dunlop, a teacher during Clara Oswald's tenure. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) Following that are H. Beyer-Cox and R. Phillips-Rees. Then R. D Pink is on the board, referring to Rupert "Danny" Pink, a maths teacher, who was killed in a car crash (TV: Dark Water) and C. Oswald referring to Clara Oswald, an English teacher, who was seemingly killed by the Quantum Shade. (TV: Face the Raven)

One female cleaner, Mr. Armitage, Assistant Coach Carroll, and Coach Dawson were presumably added to the list of the dead after all being killed by the skin-peeling dragon. (TV: The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo)
