Sad news

It is with deep sadness that I am sharing the news that former Headmaster, John Allen, passed away peacefully on Wednesday 30th July at the age of 84.

He started working at Westbrook Hay in 1963 and served as Headmaster for 12 years from 1982 to 1996.

His leadership and dedication left a lasting impact on our school community. He was a truly inspirational teacher who has made a significant difference to so many who benefitted from his wisdom and insight. His legacy lives on helping to shape our traditions and values.

John Allen helped shape the heart of our school community and he will be remembered fondly by both colleagues and former pupils. Our thoughts are with his 3 children and all who loved him.

When we are aware of of his funeral arrangements, we will let you know.
