When did the school close?
I think I know someone who went to school there (about 1950s, I guess)

hi i went to whitley wood special school. I was known as jaynee i played the trumpet. i found the standard of education provided as poor. Some good memories I think i was the only pupil to run the cross country run.

Hi I enjoyed life, a lot ! had a thirst for discovering new things. I went to Stannington College to fill in gaps. I am content, live in a coastal town on the south coast. I would love to find an excuse to go to sheffield to look at my old haunts. Would really like to hear how some of the kids from school got on especially the ones i remember, I do think of them.

Hi my name is Barrie Butcher, your name is familier my friends were Kevin Skanlon & paul Bradshaw. I was always in trouble couldn't manage to evan sit quiet, always up to something. Mr Broughton put me on the potters wheel while other kids did maths! That didn't seem to work either. I would like to here how some of the other kids got when they left school.

Hi Barry, sorry but cannot remember your name, but it is a long time ago. I stll live in sheffield and sometimes go walking around whiteley woods area. I remember having to travel from Fox hill to pond street then catch the special bus to school every day, such a long way, especially if I missed the school bus. Mr. broughton did not like me either and the feeling was mutual. I just about got on with Mrs Worroll and I think they both were glad when I left. We must have known each other or at least have had friends in common.

Hi Mick
I have been thinking about school life & I think I remember where you fit in or maybe not ( memory loss ). Did you know a William Bolsover? My memory is saying you two left at the same time,I left with the next batch Autum I think it was. I seem to recall you but I knew David Mitchell + Alan White. Anyhow it is good to hear from someone in the class evan if we did not know eachother enouth. thanks Barrie Butcher

Hi, I don't think I knew a John Avery as I did not go there till about 1968 & left there in 1971. It would be nice to see a list of the kids names in the class as I can,t remember a lot of them by name just remember a lot of faces. But a long time has passed, it would be nice to know how some of them got on beyond school.

I think I was a pain in school for all the right reasons. i remember going with school to the city hall. The next day it was advertised in the star as for disabled and deprived children. The next time there was a trip I refused to go. I told miss Robson (head) that I did not consider myself deprived or disabled so I was not going to take someone place.

I stayed at school and a teacher had to stay behind to look after me.
