John Morris - OH Staff 1980-2006 and Headmaster from 1990

25 Oct 2024
co ed

A lot of planning went into the introduction of girls, and I think we got most things right. We got used to using first names for boys and girls, and the girls did not seem to be oppressed by initially being outnumbered. Nearly all of us believed the move to co-education was the best thing that had happened to the College for a long time. The results were all positive – attitudes became less macho, a more natural environment, a more relaxed and, I think, friendly atmosphere, fewer disciplinary problems, improved academic results.
