I attended the cally for two years 87-89. We left when i was about 12, I begged my mother not to send me and my younger brother back their,
the truth was it was rife with abuse, i had witnessed it first hand and the been abused myself, some of the abusers got jailed from what I've seen recently. the Man who tried grooming me with sweets late nights staying up and extra privileges didn't work but i know he targeted other younger boys often with simple things like showering in front of him.
Mr w was his name, there was older boys who touched the younger ones i once walked in by mistake on them and it cost me a beating which left me with a black eye i was 10 years old.
the other sadistic man was Mr p he liked physical pain i was caned by him for minor child squbbles he once hit me so hard with a table tennis bat it broke he shouted that il be paying for that bat, there was also a slipper size 13 was had written on the sole kiss my ass, many children had there pants pulled down and slipped repeatedly.
I went to bushy hall school, but because we were half Irish we weren't very much liked they where very hard times as a child at the cally when i look back now, am glad i never told my parents it would of destroyed them, my brother to this day still won't talk about that period of his life never.
Its an absolute disgrace what went on there i still suffer now .......
we went there for an solid stable education without the need to move to another school, the best bit i remember was going home........
