Thorp Arch Grange School 1970 onwards

My name is Vince Taylor and i was a pupil at Thorp Arch Grange School from 1970 to 1975, as many people will be aware that this school was run by the local authoraties and was a approved boarding school,I was born and raised in rothwell nr leeds, By the age of six we was a broken family and i was packed of to live with grandma, 1970,due to lack of perental guidance and total disrespect to elders i was taken into care and placed at Thorp Arch Grange aged 10,i remember as clear as day the arrival at the grange, The drive upto the school and into the main office to be greeted by mr john ingram ( house master to lee house)

I AM SEEKING ANY PAST PUPILS OR STAFF FROM THORP ARCH GRANGE SCHOOL OR ANYONE WHO HAS ANY PAST HISTORY AS 1970 ONWARDS, ALSO ANYONE WITH PHOTOS, I find it very sad that so many young lads like myself who was put through this institute at such a young age and to leave such a big impact in life that there seems to be no record of such times, I have revisited thorp arch grange and is now used for football training by leeds football club,my aim is to put together a short history about the 1970s at thorp arch grange school, I do remember most of the staff by name and recall all the school and housing building plan, ie lee house lorry churchill and kenedy house, please add to post or email me at office@abdroofing.co.uk
