158. Swaylands School

The now cosed boarding school which opened in the 1940s became the center of an investigation. It resulted in a number of arrests of former employees.

The full extent of the abuse case which took place for many years between 1967 and 1993 is yet to known.

But already it is safe to state that it could not have been fun to live at this boarding school as a teenager.
