hello, I would urge all ex boys to read the web page of Mr Pope (untitled), I was one of the same intake on Sept 1961. The school was very violent, he also rightly states bullying was " a fact of life ". However he ommited to mention that the boys of a "lower class" where frequently derided by guffaw laughter from those who came from middle class backgrounds, I know !! especially when I confused clitoris for cretin??? (I do know now honestly) they also laughed loudly when I was smacked across the ear for colouring iron mines with the wrong colour. Still after after all this time, 10 years in the British merchant and Norwegian navies and still gainfully employed, a boy from reform school/childrens home and the " Indie" did not do too bad.I wonder how these so-called Officers fared?
