Sedbury Park ceased being an Approved School sometime around the late 1970's early 1980's. |

I have tried googling using every word I could find but haven't had any luck so thought I would see if any of you wise and wonderful people knew where I could look. |

I know that my grandad was sent to Sedbury park approved school in Chepstow when he was aged about 7 ( about 1945) Some of his older brothers and sisters were also sent to approved schools (but not sure what ones,different to grandad) One of his brothers was also put into a mental institute. Is there any way that I can find records of when and why they were taken away from their mother and sent to these schools. My grandad returned home when he was 14 years old. There is family talk that she beat his brother which is why he was put in a mental institute. |
