Thank goodness for that. DS left in 2018 so no longer have skin in the game, but I think he has not been good for the school.

Interested to know what current parents think.

@TonTonMacoute like to know who will replace him ! Wasn’t he unwell for the last year ?

It should be a woman who should open the school up to girls.

@NimbleHam a woman in charge of Eton ? The whole lot of them would leave

I just hope it doesn’t result in Harrow losing the wonderful Alastair Land.

Gangstamummy · 01/05/2026 22:37

Where is he going?

Supposedly, I suspect there was a bit more to it than that.

I will be interested in his successor is, and hope it's an OE, maybe former MiC James Fulton would be in the running. DS left nearly 10 years ago, so I'm completely out of the loop these days.

My Boy will be going to Winchester in 28 .

@Tobstar106 fantastic, I wish him (and you) all the best. Quite glad it's all behind us now, ngl

So why are you interested in who will replace Simon Henderson? It certainly won’t be the head of Winchester so you can’t have any worries on that front.

I heard the head of Teddies was desperate for the job but he is very, well, tedious…
I wonder if they will look to another country to recruit. Australians and South Africans are very pro-single sex education.

RobertB2024 · 05/05/2026 07:24

14 months to work his notice . I thought in 2015 or even in 2020 that he was going to becone of Eton's longest serving Head Men .

What did he do that was so bad?

Perhaps Pride Week could be replaced by Community Brotherhood Week . No more grovelling to StoneWall .
