I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me in this very difficult year. Winning my case and being exonerated of any wrongdoing wouldn't have been possible without it.
Despite this I've taken the decision to move on from St Ursulas after 23 years of teaching. I've worked with some incredible colleagues, taught so many wonderful students and loved my time at what has been one of the best schools anywhere.
There are too many memories to recount but I especially enjoyed our annual trips to Dover, the residentials to Belgium and all the football matches that proved small schools can produce good players as well.
A special thank you to all my form groups over the years, I learnt a lot from you all.
All the best
Alex Turpie
