Beside Abercorn School and it was called 'The Special Classes School' New special needs school built 100 years agoNov 3 2012 by Jeff Holmes, Paisley Daily Express A new school for handicapped children in Paisley and surrounding areas was opened 100 years ago – and it offered a new dawn for kids with special needs. The building, on the Renfrew Road, close to Abercorn School, was called The Special Classes School. It was a handsome and commodious establishment, which was carried through by the forward-thinking Paisley School Board. Built by local architects, Messrs A Craig Barr and Cook, the two-storey building had separate entrances on the ground floor for boys and girls. Children who were able to walk entered by an inclined pathway, while those in wheelchairs entered via a covered porch. As soon as all children were safely in their classes, a folding gate was closed over for added security, and four separate playgrounds kept apart the four special classes – boys affected either mentally or physically, and for girls with the same ailments. One advanced invention was the construction of ‘wind shields’, which meant children could still get fresh air even if the weather was foul. The school cost just under £12,000 to complete, but was capable of catering for around 320 children, all of whom would come from Paisley and its many surrounding towns and villages. A large turnout of ladies and gentleman were present at the grand opening of the school, which the Rev Dr Metcalfe, Chairman of the establishment, presided over. Among others on the welcome podium were Sir Thomas Glen-Coats and Provost Muir MacKean, and after two verses of the 100th Psalm had been sung, Rev DJ Allison offered a dedicatory prayer. The Chairman, in his introductory remarks, stated that there wasn’t a finer school of its kind in Scotland, outwith Glasgow, Edinburgh and Govan – but that it was second to none in the country for the perfection of its arrangements, and completeness of equipment. The staff comprised of 14 teachers, one nurse, three guides, one cook, two assistant cooks and even a chauffeur. In his speech, the Chairman said: “I trust that everything that is expected of the work in this school will be fulfilled. Everyone in Paisley should be proud of the splendid work done by the Paisley School Board in taking up this question and bringing it to fruition.”

Strange. I served my time with James Kilpatricks and plenty of the other apprentices kicked with both feet.

You can get a pill for that.
