why would he wind you up about that? Of course it existed. it's mentioned, by me, for one, in a number of threads on here.

It was an excellent school. My sister went there, she left in 1982.

it was originally an "Open Air School", which was mainly for children with resioratory problems (Asthma TB etc) or otherwise considered "delicate".

When my sis was a pupil there, some children had Physical Impairments, whilst others of the children had what was then called "Mental Handicaps", now termed more nicely "learning disabilities".

Some Kids were boarders, others, like my sis, were "day scholars". My sis longed to be a boarder, (for some reason! )

the headmaster, mr bailey was a fabulous man, a big, big, guy, with a big, big, heart. Most pupils called into his office on the way into class for a hug from him. he was a gem, very dedicated, and got teh best from his pupils.

I went to Whiteley Woods & we went down to Bents Green school & there were kids of all disabitlies,a well run place .
