Beatrice Ensor with Carl Jung
For more than eighty years we have known we were ahead of the educational game. The issue for schools like ours, is how we can lead the way at a time when there is plenty of tinkering with schooling but very little thought about education itself.
So in February, in co-operation with Bedales, we organised a conference in the Ballroom at which no less an educational figure than Dr Martin Stephen (High Master of St Paul’s and formerly Head of HMC) was an enthusiastic speaker. He implored us to keep pushing at the barriers as had once our schools’ founders.
John Atkinson’s speech to the gathering is here to download, as is the essay of Paul Roberts, the school’s first Headmaster, on what he believed the school should stand for.

John Atkinson has always been interested in liberal education, which was why Andrew Fisher asked him to speak to the conference.
