It was announced this morning that Westminster School Head Master Patrick Derham will retire at the end of the 2019-20 academic year, after six years of outstanding leadership. He will have completed twenty four years as a Head Master, first of Solihull School, then of Rugby School and finally of Westminster School. A letter by the Chairman of Governors to Parents highlighted Patrick Derham’s successful campaign to raise funds for bursaries and the school’s successful partnership with Harris Westminster Sixth Form as remarkable achievements.
Patrick, it was 2014 when Bob and I had the privilege of meeting you and Allison as you were beginning a new and exciting position as Headmaster. Now I read that you’ve retired and are more than likely on another new and exciting adventure. You are wished the very best! You will be a blessing to those you encounter regardless of where life leads you.
Your transatlantic friend,
Susan Dryer
