I was at Bents Green from 1981 - 86 and some of the teachers on the list were still there when I started. I remember Mr Heward, Mrs Rowland, Mr Kirkham, Mrs Stone, Mrs Kimber and Mrs Seddon from that list. The headteacher when I was there was Norman Elliott. Other teachers I remember were Mrs Greaves (nee Godbehere), Mr Nicolson, Mrs Demengel (spelling?) Mr Crooks, Mrs Bagshaw

I went to  bents green school during the same period with my younger brother stuart,  I remember these teachers,  absolutely loved being at that school,  got some good memories

Hi Alan, yes its me! I was hoping you would have attended the reunion we had a few years ago, Carol was there too. I'm sure you left BGS at the same time as me along with Carol, Diane Jubb, Pam Nicholson etc which was 1974.  I visited the new school a couple of months ago, sadly there is no one left now who even remembers any of the staff from our days, Mr Heward was the last one to leave.  PM me if you prefer. Mike.

Hi, yes I remember them all, the only ex school friend Ihave ever seen is carol she was walking down the moor with her husband but that was tens of years go. Would loved to have made the reunion but did not know about it till it was way to late. Any way would love to get in touch again soon. Alan not for two weeks though but I will be back.

People have asked whether the school was for a specific condition. It quite possibly is these days but when I attended (66 - 74) it was a wide range of problems, not necessarily medical. I remember children from broken homes, troublesome kids, Asthmatic like myself, children from other similar schools which had closed down, there was even one boy i remember who upon about to be caned at his former school, took the cane from the teacher, snapped it and handed it back to him! (he was 6'2" at age 16!)
