Derek Ward (left in 1999)

Derek Ward, who joined the staff in September 1994, left at the end of the Autumn Term. Derek quickly established himself as a fully committed and effective teacher of Physics.

Outside the classroom Derek's numerous abilities and talents (he played soccer for Sheffield Wednesday) were fully utilised in coaching soccer, running a first year cricket team and above all spending countless hours with the life saving club. He will be greatly missed and we wish him well at South Hampstead.
