Brighton College Goodbyes

Personally, I am fascinated by education, the great leveller in society.

I have this meritocratic idea that education allows everyman to be all that he can be. In fact, I adopted this very slogan for my House five years ago when I undertook the redevelopment of a somewhat ramshackle boy’s Day House in a Home Counties school.

Somehow I have travelled from a bright career to making a decision on a cold Sunday morning in March at the end of Brighton pier that I should go out and see the world differently.
