Kingston的Tiffin School是个非常好的公立Grammar School,但它的成绩和声誉比Tiifin Girl差很多,最近几年也没有什么改进,现在来八卦一下前几届校长的情况。
2004年的时候Tiffin雇了个牛X校长36岁的Sean Heslop,是很多人看好(not me)的Star Superhead,他上台以后引进很多教育新理念(比如取消home work)学校也大刀阔斧雄心勃勃的要发展,但几年间排名榜表现都没有什么改进,到2008年的时候不仅花完了学校的800k的Reserve而且还有很大的预算亏空学校只好进行裁人,把学校管理的那么糟糕Kingston Council正想把他开掉的时候,他找到新的工作,是Kent的两个Academy (Folkestone Academy and Marlowe Academy )的超级校长拿超高工资,仍然还有人认为他是super head teacher(没天理了!)。2009年初的时候Tiffin向学生家长去捐款 (Tiffin School sends begging letter to parentsin wake of ‘financial crisis’ http://www.surreycomet.co.uk/education/educationnews/4071791.Tiffin_School_sends_begging_letter_to_parents/)。最近看到的消息,因为把一个ex-pupil肚子搞大arrested了。
在Tiffin女校校长临时代管男校一段时间以后,Tiffin雇了Hilda Clarke做校长,她1992到2000年的时候是Tiffin女校的副校长,然后是Langley Grammar School 的校长,她当政这几年好像Tiffin没有什么出彩的表现,今年退休了。
2015年9月1号开始Tiffin将有新校长Michael Gascoigne (2009年到现在一直是Tiffin的副校长),看看他有没有办法让Tiffin赶上QE Boy!

Headteacher arrested after ‘starting relationship with ex-pupil who is now expecting his baby’ quits his job
One of Britain’s top headmasters has quit after he was arrested for allegedly having a relationship with a former pupil now said to be pregnant with his child.
Sean Heslop, 47, was detained on suspicion of abuse of a position of trust and freed on police bail until July 30 pending further inquiries.
The former student, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is approaching the end of her first year at university and the baby is believed to be due in the next few months.
The woman, who is now 18, described herself as a ‘mummy-to-be’ on one social media page and posted online a picture of the three-month scan of her unborn child. Last month Mr Heslop was suspended from his duties as a super headteacher at Folkestone Academy and Marlowe Academy in Ramsgate, Kent, but has since resigned, it emerged today.
A schools spokesman said: ‘Governors can confirm that Sean Heslop has resigned his position as executive principal of Folkestone and Marlowe Academies, and the schools will continue to be led by their respective head teachers.’ The Cambridge-educated principal, who separated from his wife last year, has not been in work since April after the alleged relationship emerged. But a family member claimed at the time he was ‘the happiest he’s ever been’ as he was looking forward to becoming a father this summer. The former pupil, who cannot be named for legal reasons, became pregnant at the end of last year after leaving school and starting at a London university.

Academy head teacher, 47, arrested over pregnant pupil
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/11524089/Academy-head-teacher-47-arrested-over-pregnant-pupil.html
Mr Heslop was educated at Queens’ College, Cambridge, before completing a teacher-training course at King’s College London.
He worked as an English teacher at a top grammar school in Barnet, north London, before becoming head of English at another leading grammar in Orpington, south London. In 2004, he was appointed head of Tiffin boys’ grammar in Kingston, south-west London. 这家伙大伦敦地区几个好的公立Grammar男校都呆过啊。
Under his leadership it was one of the first schools in the country to be rated ‘outstanding’ in every category by Ofsted. While there he was criticised by some parents for dramatically reducing the amount of homework given to pupils, so they would have more time to develop their own interests.
There was also controversy after it emerged the school had spent all of its £800,000 reserves in four years, plunging it into financial crisis.
In 2009, he took over the running of the Folkestone Academy in Kent on a salary estimated at more than £100,000 a year. He was also given responsibility for the Marlowe Academy in nearby Ramsgate at the end of 2013.
