A school without a head
ANTHONY WEAVER’s paper was written in August 1946 for internal purposes and never published. It is here printed without a word altered. The school referred to is Burgess Hill started in 1936 as a progressive co-educational day school in Hampstead. In two years it had 120 pupils, and at the outbreak of the Second World War moved to Redhurst, Cranleigh, Surrey, as a co-educational boarding school. In 1944 a senior day school was started in Hampstead and a year later after the closing of the Cranleigh branch the total had grown to over 100. At the end of the period described by Anthony Weaver, Geoffrey Thorpe was appointed headmaster. Under his successor, James East, the school had to move from Hampstead to Boreham Wood, Herts, where it finally closed in 1962.
