Headmasters


Five terms after the school relocated to its current site Mr Raeburn retired, he was replaced by Mr B.A. Phythian. He owned a Afghan Hound which he often brought to school. This dog tended to sit under the desk of one of the sectaries, due to an event at a Primary School the London Borough of Bromley banned dogs from all state schools in its area. Other members of staff such as Mr Tyler ( Physics ) also took their dogs to school before the rule change.

In December 1989 Mr Phythian was replaced by a person known as Mr R.V.P. Sheffield, one key difference between Mr Phythian and Mr Sheffield was that Mr Phythian tended to remain in his office area, while Mr Sheffield tended to tour the school during the normal working day. Mr R.V.P. Sheffield was investigated for ''financial irregularities'' {Link without Title} . It is the case that after this case that he was replaced by the current headmaster.
