Description

*** ALL INCOME FROM THE SALES OF THIS BOOK GOES DIRECTLY TO THE CLARE SCHOOL ***

The Clare School is described by Ofsted as: ‘A magical place, filled with joy and happiness, fun and laughter.’  This is much deserved praise for Norwich’s oldest surviving special school.

It is a far cry from 1907 when an experimental special-needs class was first set up within the Colman Road School.  Newly researched log books completed by successive heads chart the school’s development from its early days.  Here they are combined with contemporary reports and interviews with former pupils to give an intriguing insight into how and why education for children with special needs has evolved in Norwich.  It illustrates the progress that has been made in both attitude and provision.  It also outlines what more needs to be done.

About The Author

We love living in Norwich and not only enjoy researching and documenting projects but also being able to share our work. We are the first to admit that we are more “enthusiasts” than historians and although we set ourselves high standards, we believe that such activity should be fun. As a team we can each work to our strengths which allows us to present our work in a variety of media: books, websites, presentations and film.

Michael has lived in Norwich all of his life, Frances arrived in 1983 for a year but could never find a good enough reason to leave! After a career in IT, Michael is the techie whilst Frances’ background, involving links with both the corporate and voluntary sectors, is used to good effect in organising and researching. We particularly enjoy meeting and working with a huge range of people from many different backgrounds and helping to preserve and promote Norwich’s rich heritage.
