did anyone out there go to bents green special school at ecclesall between the years of 1969 to1971 the headmaster was mr bailey

Mr Bailey has been mentioned by me in a couple of posts...

 

My younger sister used to go to BGS, but she was there a little after you (she left in 1982)

 

Mr Bailey was a wonderful chap, and I can't think of many kids I know who went there who didn't think he was fantastic.

 

He had a profound concern for the kids in his charge; it seemed, IMO, that to him it was more than a job, it was a calling...

Hi, i was at bents green but not in the 70's, im still enjoying my youth lol.

 

I was at bents green from late 94 to 97. Must say it was the best education ive ever had. I only wish there was more schools like bents green & not just for special people

My sister went there from mid seventies till she left school in 82.

 

that school worked wonders with her, she came on so far, and so well, with their (And her family's) support. Mr Bailey is GOD! (LOL)

the building is still there but the school has moved in the last couple of months, can't remember where exactly but it has gone to S7

[DUFFEMS]

The school is currently undergoing renovations/rebuilding so the pupils have moved to Talbot (I believe). It will be a 2 years build programme.

I'm currently a teacher at Bents Green and was wondering if anyone could give me their memories of the school from the past so that the kids can contrast their experiences with others. Ta:)
