Terror of Chamberlayne Road Boys School

I remember when I was going there I used to have nightmares of the school. One teacher slapped me around the ear when we were having an ear test, because I couldn't hear the bleeps. Also, when I was putting empty milk bottles in a crate to help tidy up I was caned across the hands, three on each...I must have been 7 at the time, by the then head teacher Varco Bayliss. One particular day after the head went home. He made me and another student stand in the corner with our hands on our heads, and because we weren't allowed to move off the spot the other student wet himself because he wasn't allowed to go to the toilet. One teacher came out, I think he was the best out of all of them, and said 'leave it to me, I'll sort it out tomorrow, you go home lads'. Even today now I'm 54, I still cringe hearing about the school.
