DUFFEMS Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The school is currently undergoing renovations/rebuilding so the pupils have moved to Talbot (I believe). It will be a 2 years build programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Golightly Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 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.

starchaser Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I went to bents green school from 1967 to 1978 it was the best time for the school. The sun always seemed to shine the teachers were kind. I remember on a thursday afternoons going for a walk up the road to the round house touching it and walking back to school. Then the summer camp bridlington that was fun. And their are many more. The kids never left with any fancy exams but they left with much more than that they left with hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 My brother used to go, he was a boarder i think it was about 83 when he left. He used to go back & see staff, so they set him on in the kitchens (he always loved cooking), they sent him to college on day release. He loved it at Bents Green.

alfred rd Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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:) i went to Bents Green school or Bents Green Open Air School as knew it. I went around 1947/48. I seem to remember teacher called Miss Inch. We had to have a sleep in the afternoon, we slept on strechers which was stacked in the flat roof class rooms. Some where in early summer, we had an open day where parents came and we put on a display, while I was there I took part in a Maypole dance. alfred rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 My Son is currently at Bents Green and is a wonderfull school, all kids have some kinda Autism not sure if thats always been the case. No, it wasn't the case, back in the 70s when my sister went there. (Although, funnily enough, my sister's diagnosis was Autism!) There were a range of disabilities, from physical disabilities (of varying kinds from spina bifida to cerebral palsy) there were kids with epilepsy, and many with all kinds of learning disability. Bents Green was a wonderful school, and Mr Bailey, the headmaster, at the time my sister was there, was a wonderful chap. My sister came on in leaps and bounds, with her learning disabilities, thanks to BGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
