It's interesting then to track the progress of 'it' to understand whether it was the right thing to do.<br /><br />On other occasions, when you're really firm in your ground, say 'no'.

I was always very happy at the school, and am grateful for the excellent education it gave me - in hindsight I perhaps should have taken greater advantage of it! Although some two years above me, David Pearce was a contemporary, and always seemed popular among his peers. I will remeber him and the Community in my prayers.retird grumpynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056311.post-14275394193793564462011-07-18T16:38:28.930+01:002011-07-18T16:38:28.930+01:00Not heard about the music teacher - but there agan...Not heard about the music teacher - but there agan I wasn't musical.

I was at St Ben's until '83 and knew both as teachers and form tutors. All my brothers went there too. Luckily we all escaped untouched by these deeply wicked men. My God, what a shambles this went on, and the school obviously covering up. As I found out later the then Headmaster( I wont name, but you should know) left later under some cloud and married, leaving the priesthood, perhaps unable to live with the guilt of what went on under his headmastership. Who knows.The awful thing is ( for me anyway)years later when I was getting married I asked Fr David in '98 to officiate at the wedding at The Abbey,which he did, and very charmingly. Some ex pupils do remember him quite well, not as evil or even as an awful teacher. He didnt strike me as cruel or vindictive but was not someone you'd warm to as a young boy; pure luck on my part and my brothers we were not affected. I heard from a good friend of mine at St Ben's same time as me, there was a gay very senior music teacher (who I won't name)who was in close cahoots with Fr David in that era (late 70's - 80's), who often both discussed young boys and who they both 'fancied'. My friend heard this 1st hand because the music teacher would discuss this with him ( it was when he was in 6th form.)That same senior music teacher went on to open and become Head of his own private boys school somewhere!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18416933150841864212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056311.post-89266732311237604362011-07-04T10:05:25.258+01:002011-07-04T10:05:25.258+01:00Interesting: would suggest that some kind of deal ...Interesting: would suggest that some kind of deal has been cooked up between the lawyers. I wonder if they have agreed to plead guilty to a single charge?<br /><br />I was at the school from 75-82, so it's quite likely I know (or know of) the person abused. It never occurred to me at the time, but looking back now, I remember a small number of boys being removed from the school with no warning or explanation over the years. Of course, I may be adding 2+2 to get 37 here, but I do wonder if some parents were rather more attuned to the goings on at the school than mine (or many others) were?<br /><br />That said, I've noticed on other blogs the claim that a 'climate of fear' prevailed in the school at the time. As one who was there I'd have to dispute that. My fear was of not getting my Latin done on time or being shown up for my lack of knowledge in French. The rules were clear and one knew not to transgress them (or how to get round them). I wonder if this 'climate of fear' is what those who weren't there at the time want to impose after the event?Mark Shanahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582169025678103551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056311.post-80284923607260227822011-07-02T13:55:14.807+01:002011-07-02T13:55:14.807+01:00The start of the trial has been postponed until Tu...The start of the trial has been postponed until Tuesday 5 July.

I'm sure I heard something about another case relating to incidents that must have taken place when I was at the school. <br /><br />Horrible, horrible business - ineptly dealt with by the school - perhaps crimionally dealt with by the Abbey and the Diocese. And they wonder why my generation has turned away from the church in droves.....<br /><br />I've no doubt that the school is a bastion of good practice now, but their weak response both then and much more recently will taint them in the eyes of very many prospective parents for a very long time.Mark Shanahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582169025678103551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056311.post-69339971212590070672011-05-23T17:26:59.506+01:002011-05-23T17:26:59.506+01:00Well said, Mark.
