'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.

As a pupil at 3 different public (private) schools in the 1960's and 70's, although as a day girl, Charles Spencer's moving and heartbreaking account brings back floods of awful memories. We girls certainly didn't suffer the severity of the indignities he did, but it was pretty ghastly! Certainly not a time to be remembered as, "the best days of your life". Books in paper form are, generally, my first choice but I highly recommend his beautiful and very moving naratation. I sincerely hope that writing and narrating this book has helped the author in healing some of the deep-seated wounds inflicted on him.

A beautifully narrated account of the horrors of the British private school system.

Charles Spencer reads with controlled fury, thus giving this terrible story of his childhood suffering a dramatic and very powerful stage. Highly gripping and impossible not feel sorry for the boys at that school and horror at the unfeelingness of the masters.
