FROM THE HEADMASTER ‘Reflections’, the Handcross Park School Magazine, always lives up to its name and looks back over the previous academic year. However, I find myself writing this introduction only weeks before I leave the school and move forward into retired life. Over the 17 years I have been Headmaster of this wonderful school I have always eagerly awaited the next edition of Reflections appearing on my desk and this year brings no exception. As I’m sure you can imagine, I have built up quite a collection of our magazines, the pages of which are often thumbed in order to retrieve the many happy memories of the pupils, teachers, parents and occasions that have played such an important part in my working life. All good things come to an end and as I drift off into the sunset I can look back with pride at everything that I have achieved, both for the school and personally. Handcross Park is a very special place and I know that the future editions of Reflections will make excellent reading as the school moves onwards and upwards under the expert leadership of Mr Owton. I hope that Mrs Rouse will ensure that I remain on the mailing list. You will be aware that this edition is rather late in arriving. That is brought about by the fact that we didn’t have an editor able to follow in the footsteps of last year’s incumbent. It looked like I would have to take on the task myself (even though my expertise in this field is rather lacking), when Mr Mark Harrison, our terrific Chairman of the Friends of Handcross Park, stepped up to the Mark (excuse the pun) and offered his services. I’m sure that you will agree he has done a remarkable job particularly as he had only a few weeks to complete the project. As you will see, last year was a splendid year for the school. We were particularly pleased with our record Scholarship results, but they formed just one part of the many successes that we enjoyed throughout the academic year. I certainly don’t want to pre-empt your enjoyment of the magazine by going into detail here, so why not settle down in your favourite chair and enjoy the latest edition of ‘Reflections’. All that remains is for me to say a fond farewell and thank you to everyone who has made the past 20 years so special and to wish Handcross Park and everyone associated with it all the best for the future. I look forward to seeing you at the Summer Ball! Warren Hilton (February 2011) 1
