What The Good Schools Guide says..
Genial, dapper and approachable; a hands-on head who ‘does not like to spend his time behind a desk’. Is keen for school to have its own identity but ‘to sit as one within the Dame Allan family’. Wants pupils to think that ‘learning is fun’, and that they ‘want more of that’. Good selection of play apparatus appropriate for each stage of development and KS2 area marked out for netball. Luxury of an all-weather playing surface for other traditional team sports, together with adequate grass pitches. The nursery is bright and well-resourced...
