Talk:Douai School

Reason for closure
Why did the school close? cagliost (talk) 15:14, 26 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Economic reasons. School roll had been falling for a number of years, I believe. There was a lot of ill-feeling when it closed, but I see no reason to doubt the Community's statement that they had supported the school through several loss-making years.

I was a student at the school just before it closed. Fact of the matter is that they were bleeding students due to 'rumours' (which ended up being true) of sexual abuse of children in Ditcham house (the primary school). A number of teachers/fathers/heads were convicted (finally) of sexual abuse of children after it's closure. Noone will be paying money to a boarding school to have their children fucked by a monk.

Houses
The article says "[i]n 1970, a new house was created – from 1980 called Gifford House to commemorate Archbishop Gabriel Gifford". A new house may have been created in 1970, but it was not in existence by 1978, when I arrived. During my time there, Gifford was created and I could well believe that it was created in 1980.
