I was wondering if anyone knows what is happening with the headmaster.

Just curious really, as DS left in 2017, but I would be interested to hear the latest.

Feel free to PM if you don't want to say on the public boards.

Anything you can post here?

TonTonMacoute · 28/04/2025 19:29

Well, I would be sharing information that other Mumsnetters sent me privately, which I prefer not to do.

There was nothing juicy, but I understand that Simon Henderson is back working at the school atm, having taken extended leave for health reasons.

DS's last 2 years at school overlapped with SH, and I am willing to share the fact that I was most definitely not a fan!

Are you willing to share why you weren’t a fan?

AStreetcarNamedBob · 28/04/2025 21:33

Well he’s aggressively ‘woke’ so that’s not in his favour for a start!

Met him and Tony Little several times at school functions. SH was cold, aloof, arrogant, woke, his behaviour verged on outright bullying at times, especially regarding Will Knowland. He didn't seem that interested in the boys,and certainly wasn't interested in meeting the parents. A stark contrast to his predecessor.

I got the impression he thought he could completely change the school into something it wasn't, at times it seemed like he actually would have been happy to destroy it. The sooner he goes the better IMO,
