What The Good Schools Guide says..
He’s quite a stickler for the rules and likes things neat and organised - that includes the boys and their uniforms, and he’s not above manning the school gates himself to check that all is shipshape.

There is lots of topic-based work eg on space, where we saw some inventive designs for ‘a planet unlike Earth’.

Worked in a conservation unit for a few years before starting his career in a state primary school some 20 years ago. He has also been head of juniors and director of studies here. Previously he was head of English and deputy principal at Latymer Prep and before that taught at Melbourne Grammar School in Australia, where he lived with his family for three years.

Special Education Needs
The School has a full-time SENCO who works with staff in the juniors on the Early Intervention Programme as well as working one-to-one with older boys who have diagnosed needs such as dyslexia or dyspraxia. The SENCO and Head of Personalised Learning ensure that teachers in the seniors (where boys have several subject specialist teachers) are trained and updated on boys' individual needs. These boys are given Personalised Learning Plans which are shared with parents, staff and boys. Dec 09.
