Just to reply for the benefit of any who read this ( I think Richard
has had a reply directly) there is a group of former St Vedast and St
James pupils who are seeking action in the form of acknowledgement of
what happened and an apology.

There have been some recent breakthroughs, in particular an apology by
one of the teachers. To read more and maybe get in touch, see the WATD
forum (where you can post anonymously at first if required.)
