We were delighted to welcome a visit from Dr Simon Hyde, General Secretary at HMC.
The Heads’ Conference is an association of Headteachers drawn from some of the world’s best schools. Founded in 1869, it was the world’s first Heads’ association, and its name derives from the annual meeting of members at ‘Conference’.
Currently, 300 Heads in the UK and Ireland are members of HMC, with another 60 international members. HMC schools educate over 270,000 students in the UK (or roughly half of all independently educated pupils). HMC exists to serve and support its members, to represent their views and to exemplify excellence in education.
Dr Hyde enjoyed lunch with Mr Silvester, met with some senior staff, recorded his weekly podcast and toured the School with Teni, Head of School.
