This is by way of a 'bump' as this thread is about to drop onto page 2 of the forum and to say that the group has been reasonably successful with 11 members joining so far.

Have a happy new year.

Best Wishes

Still there from where I'm looking???...

Well...I certainly didn't run around shouting about it from the roof tops, but it was around the the time when another pupil in our class was being caned on an almost daily basis, not for any heinous crimes, but basically because he had a cheeky resilient character and was up for a bit of a laugh de...

Without going to the trouble of quoting etc. I didn't see the posts swiftly deleted by Mike, but I agree with Mike deleting them on the basis that no one needs to go to such extremes to express themselves - a few well placed ****'s will do. I 100% support the actions you have taken thus far, ie leav...

Kevin, Thank you for sharing your opinions & the implied support of the proposed inquiry (or whatever it is being called by Mr Boddy this week). Maybe you can bring useful pressure to bear to the effect that it becomes a truly independent and full enquiry and not what some of us cynics are expec...

I personally don't agree with deleting all of Sandra/Mattstollar/whoever's posts. Some of what's been posted is definitely relevant...the manner of the posting is also relevant as an example of what the SES can do to a person (in my (inexpert) opinion). Yes I know it has been disruptive and in some ...

Perhaps Mr Bob should read a few more posts on this forum himself before dismissing it ...the forum has been a vehicle for several things, not least the enquiries and discussions by parents who, it seems, had not been told 100% of 'the truth' by the current Schools regarding the links with the SES a...

should it be the SES that apologises, not just the former teachers? I'm not so sure. Obviously I do not agree with the SES and it's interpretations of "the Truth", but while they were responsible for the ideology that was followed by the schools' teachers, it was and still is a voluntary organisati...

Just in case anyone missed my post to a separate thread on this... As the current '7th Form' organisation is far too closely allied to the existing school for my tastes (& those of others I suspect) I have started a new discussion group for all former pupils. The intention is to have a neutral g...

I agree with you 'a different guest'. On a lighter note, someone on this forum questioned how the Debenham's sleep at night. I realise that they meant this in terms of conscience but I have a partial answer. My classmate xxx xxxxxxx once visited the Debenham home and told us that Mr & Mrs D had...

As the current '7th Form' organisation is far too closely allied to the existing school for my tastes (& those of others I suspect) I have started a new discussion group for all former pupils. The intention is to have a neutral group where all former pupils are welcome, regardless of views etc. ...

I am a parent with kids at St. James. Should I be worried? All of this concerns me deeply. I wonder if you'd care to post a follow up? Have you followed Adrasteia, Daffy or Alban's advice. What response did you get from the school? What impressions do you get from talking with your kids compared wi...

So good to see the ball has started rolling at last, enquiry or no enquiry. Well done to Barrington Barber for having the guts to step forward & apologise. Also to David Hipshon for his postings too, definitely a step in the right direction, even if not far enough for all. Will be interesting to...

I've just read this thread through for the first time...will probably have to read at least a couple more times before all the details sink in, so if I'm saying something that's already been said, apologies. One thing that doesn't seem to come out in the posts so far is that St James was actually th...
