    He was my year head, 2000-05, nicest guy you could wish to meet, a complete gentle giant, not just a teacher but a friend, who taught common sense, and would help anyone who needed it. RIP

    @Redvaliant we would have been the same year. Who was your form teacher in 1971. I will try and work out who you are

    RIP Stuart. Was also there in the 70's. Another sad loss a few years ago was Keith Lark, head of music. Had hoped to get in touch with him and was very shocked and saddened to hear of his passing.
