It is with great sadness that I have to report the death of William Webb, our piano teacher, who died suddenly and unexpectedly just before half term. Mr Webb was a widely respected musician and teacher who inspired his pupils with a love of music and performing. His reputation spread far beyond Bournemouth and he will be sorely missed.

Eric Bennett passes away
Former Headmaster Eric Bennett (1957 – 1970) sadly passed away on October 8th 2005, aged 94. He was the third headmaster in the history of the school and oversaw many changes as education developed during the 1960’s, in particular with the rapid expansion in the number of pupils progressing to university. He leaves a widow Ria and sons Anthony and Stephen to whom we send our sincere sympathy.
Urfan Mirza passes away
It was with a sense of shock, disbelief and great sadness that we learnt this morning of the untimely death of Mr. Urfan Mirza who had taught chemistry at the school since 1996. He was only 38. As far as we know he passed way peacefully, having just returned to his family home in Southampton after going jogging. He will be greatly missed by his current pupils and by many previous students who have benefited from his dedication and understanding of his subject for the past 8 years. Our thoughts are with his mother and his sisters.
