Harry joined College alongside me in September 2021 and with his confident and outgoing personality from the off, it was clear that he was going to throw himself into College life. Soon he could be found prowling the touch line of the 2nd XV in his wellies and Barbour, barking orders and answering the cries from Morgs of ‘Johnno’, a cry that the boys soon cottoned on to and used affectionately themselves.

In CCF, he often took pupils out on expedition and encouraged them to explore the wilder side of life. In the classroom Harry has taught in both Classics and Business Studies Departments under Tom Lambert and Holly Brooke and the pupils have been fortunate to have had him as their teacher. In the evenings it was always back to Boyne House, Schoffel on of course, where ‘Penny Junior’ plied his trade and has for the last two years provided great support for Andy Straiton.

Perhaps most people’s fondest memory of Harry though will be of his annual Sports Day attire, blazer and boater hat at the ready, deck chair in arm, he brought a touch of class to the whole occasion, and it will be sorely missed. Most of us expected Harry to continue down the path of Housemaster a role that he would not doubt have been a natural for.

However, his passion for business has changed those plans and we wish him all the best for his endeavours in London in his new job.
