My husband was at Wedges for the Spring Term of 1956.  His brother had previously been there in 1953.  He remembers that several children absconded but were brought back either by their parents, or the police!  The records also indicate that children were sent home for bed-wetting, which seems to defeat the object of the school. He had good memories of the place - school work in the mornings, and outdoor activities in the afternoons.  He also recalls that the actor, Leo Genn, came to the school and read stories to the children.  He also remembers the country dancing, but especially the cricket matches which they usually won.
