Description: Written by the first head teacher, about what was a fairly radical school for its day, in some respects. Fascinating as a read for the original ex-pupils who could then understand some of the background behind the structure of the school.  JHH was  an educationalist as much as a head teacher, but like many of his profession, he aimed rather more towards the potential academics on the school roll, rather than the centrist, more practical pupils.  Having said that, he was only too pleased in his later years, to debate the issues with a pupil who was anything but academic and inspired that same pupil to write about the same school from another perspective.
