A well shot film taken by the Doncaster Cine Club that documents some of the activities that go on at the school for disabled children known as Hesley Hall located in the Doncaster area.

Grainger. Title - Directed by R.G. Kirton. The film opens with a shot of a road with a road sign that reads 'Hesley Hall School', and a minibus drives through the gates. There are then exterior views of Hesley Hall. Inside the hall, young children are at play using the slides, bicycles, and other toys available. The voice over states that a full time physiotherapist is employed to help the children, and she uses (so-far unproven) progressive methods to improve the children's mobility. The filmmaker captures an example of this, as the therapist helps a young boy to bounce on some equipment. The voiceover also asserts that children come from Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire to attend the school. The film follows the children throughout the school day, concentrating on the type of education at the school, and there are brief snippets from an art class. Kids then leave the classroom and walk down halls; some use wheelchairs, while others use crutches. There is then a scene in a cafeteria, where the children sit down to have their lunch, and then the recreation time is captured, with the students playing in the grounds. The voice over remarks that some boys have had to be isolated, due to a skin infection, and there are shots of three young boys in a room entertaining themselves with magazines. Preparations for a school trip are underway, the bus is loaded with food and equipment, and there is a sign on back of bus which reads 'Rossie Motor Coxley house Rossington Doncaster'. Children then board the bus before there is a scene at the beach, where the children enjoy the day; some of the children go down to the sea and paddle, while the less physically-abled children are carried by aides. Back at school, an ambulance picks up two children and then there are shots of kids brushing their teeth. The closing passage shows students in wheelchairs playing with a ball outside.
