Cademuir International School was the project of Robert and Anne Mulvey. set up at the start of the 1990's, the school was created with the purpose of exploiting already vulnerable children in order to profit financially. Children were appaulingly mistreated, and every Her Majesty's Inspectorate report highlighted serious concerns about student welfare. These reports are freely available over the internet. The mistreatment taking place consisted of numerous instances of psychological and physical abuse, leaving a string of dissaffected former pupils, the school having one of the highest turnover rates of any schools in the country, as pupils realised the nature of their enviroment. some examples of abuse include, but are in no way limited to, physical assault by staff members, sexual student teacher relations, extreme psychological abuse over long periods of time, arbitrary summary punishments, and the covering up and even encouragment of numerous instances of psychological, physical and sexual abuse between pupils.
In September 2006 the school finally went of out business due to financial difficulties. Its roll had dropped from 100 pupils to only 34 at the time of its closure.[1]
Due to serious and prolonged fraudulent financial mismanagment, the school has now, to the relief of many concerned, been forced to close recently. This is a time for much celebration, as although nothing can take away the damage inflicted on many of their victims, whose lives have been permanantly affected by their crimes, the Mulvey family are, hopefully, at last now prevented from harming any more young children, and that is something we can all be grateful for.
