I feel that you should know that Burr will be losing Rich
and Agueda Starr at the end of this term. They have decided to move on after
five happy years at Shiplake – indeed, they had thought of leaving a few years
ago but decided to hang on, perhaps to make sure the Housemaster didn’t go
completely mad, but also, as Rich said when he told the boys, because Burr is a
happy place to work. Now, having celebrated a Significant Birthday (Resident
Tutors still seem very young to me) he has resigned to seek a new pasture. I
know that Shiplake loses not only a tutor, but a Modern Language teacher (the
department with some of the best results of any, last summer), Master in Charge
of Football, and CCF officer (who gave up his Sunday to take boys gliding
today).

The plan is that Rich will be succeeded by Mr Jack Caine,
who joins us as an ICT Teacher (replacing me) in September. It will be his
first teaching post – he is a fine man with a lot to offer us beyond the intricacies
of check digit check calculations in modulo 37 (his lessons are bound to be
more fun than mine, as you can see).
