Suntrap Hayling Island
A Memory of Hayling Island.
I went to Hayling Island Suntrap Residential School run by the borough of Harringay . I believe it was around 1975.
I stayed there for about 12 to 18 months. I had chronic asthma and people thought it would be best to go to Suntrap for the sea weather. I had a lovely time there and certainty improved my health. The teachers were very caring and though I was around 8 to 9 at the time, overall was a good experience. I missed so much school and remember learning to read and write when I got to the school. Considering the horror stories of some children homes back in the day. I find myself lucky I went to such a good caring school and fortunate it was run by the borough of Harringay, who allowed me to go even though I lived outside the borough. I only have happy fond memories of Suntrap and the children I made friends with.
Kind Regards
Desmond Forde
