'Shocking and moving' Guardian

'Top marks for its searing frankness, framed in wistfully beautiful prose’ The Times

At eight years of age, Charles Spencer was sent away to one of England's most England's most exclusive boarding schools. Here he reveals the strange secrets of the school, and the culture of cruelty and abuse he experienced in his five years there as pupil.

Spencer reflects on the misery, hopelessness and abandonment he felt aged eight, viscerally describing the intense pain of homesickness and the vicious brutality of a boys' school in the 1970s. All these years later, Spencer's bafflement at the teachers' motivations to inflict such cruelty on young children in palpable. As is his fury that, even if somehow he had spoken up, he'd never have been believed.

Charles Spencer's book 'A Very Private School' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 11-03-2024.

My heart goes out to all of those who suffered at the hands of the type of people who took advantage of the situation these unfortunate children found themselves in at boarding schools. I truly hope everyone affected receives the help they need. A well written account by an eloquent speaker. Bravo for having the courage to speak out!

Eloquently written account of an incredibly difficult experience

I am pleased that Charles Spencer was so open in his book about what he and the students at the school they attended were subject to. The adults who inflicted such pain have been outed and by speaking out he will no doubt help others to try to come to terms with their pasts.

The pain inflicted on young children

Beautifully written and movingly narrated, this is a gripping and poignant tale of how one man managed to survive the harsh, traditional boarding school system and navigate the subsequent trauma that followed him into adulthood. Not an easy read but this is a book that will stay with me for a long time.

Riveting and poignant…
