Announcing the news to students and parents, Chair of Governors, John Colley, wrote: “I am taking the unusual step of writing to you because I have some important news.

“At that time, he will have been Headmaster for 21 years and served our School for a total of 24 years and a term.

“There will, I am sure, be many opportunities over the course of the coming year to thank Mr Hale for his distinguished leadership and commitment to the School.

“In the meantime, the Governors will turn their attention to recruiting a worthy successor, someone who will lead our School community to further success and maintain the very high standards to which we have happily become accustomed.”

The School will be advertising for a successor in March.
