By 1955 the school had 35 foundation scholars, selected by open competition, among its 200 boarders and 100 day boys. The four house masters in 1948 were Bescoby [not absolutely sure], F.A.Rocket, Lawrence [an former pupil], and Berger [Austrian - who taught Maths]. The school Sergeant was Hanniford, and ex-marine. The headmaster was R.E.Snaith. When I attended this school, it was a boarding school only. I learned later it had a reputation for cruelty to its pupils.I was bullied night and day relentlessly. I was referred to by my surname and school number. So that might beHarding222, Morris 234 etc. In 1948 Jarrams--- attacked me during [evening] preparation and knocked me unconscious by hitting me at least twice with the leg of a stool on he top of my head. I have been in pain from this blow since. Humphrey Junior threw me down wooden stairs twice. This was outside the main South's main dormitory. That injury was never reported or recorded. Since that day I suffer head pain 24 hoursa day, 7 days a week. It also affected my eye sight, my strength and speed, and has been life changing. I have been illl since. No doctor would record this terrible injury. The notes from 1948 are apparently lost and discarded. No matte how many times I repeat this same narrative, it is still written out of my medical history. About four years ago I decided to research my own symptoms. I used Internet, existing medical notes and I updated these notes on each visit to a specialist. Still no doctor would write down what I said time and time again - now I could check this out. The nearest a pain specialist got in 2009 was to write that I had been thrown 'on the floor'. So what chance did small school boy of ten have to record the injury and to obtain medical treatment? NONE. The house master F.A,Rockett did not care. My abuser parents did not care - my Munchousen father thought my misery and suffering was funny - and the school doctor could not care less. I could not make it up! in 2009, a chiropract advised me for the first time that Humphrey could have cracked or chopped a vertibrae in my neck, so I realised that a broken neck bone does not necessarily result in paraplegia. The diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder of the Iraq war 2003 explained the flashbacks to relentless parental and boarding school abuse and injuries. With this and the added knowledge that Xray scans war improved and MRI scans existed too, I decided to insist on medical investigation, and I could now see from the medical notes the low grader medical care with an agenda of their own, not to record anything at all accurately, began again. With renewed confidence, I asked for medical consultation outside the ABM trust and after going through the AM, I got an appointment in the neighbouring Cardiff&Vale Trust, and a diagnosis from the symptoms [by a neurosurgeon Dr.Brian Simpson] - for a very first time after 63 years!!!!! The place of injury was diagnosed as the top of the spine whree the nerve enters the base of the skull. I was about to see Dr.McKann when once again my local GP has put up barrriers. The ABM Tust has altered its decision to allow treatment in Cardiff&Vale to continue.
