'Dulwich College headmaster steps down after losing 'temper' at colleague during summer party Joseph Spence had been planning to retire next year'

Isn't Alleyn's a separate school? Have I misunderstood the article?

If you're talking about the later part of the article, then yes, Alleyns is a separate school. First the JAGS head raised concerns about the culture of Dulwich College students (boys); then the former Alleyns student did the same thing from the students' perspective. Kids move among the 3 schools, play sports, know each other socially...

There was a strong denialist counterreaction from some Dulwich College parents (mostly mums, interestingly), and then Dulwich College tried to brush it off, and leant on COVID laws to stop a protest outside the gates. The initial hushup failed, and they then promised to do a review and publish a strategic plan...which might never have seen the light of day (I stopped watching the issue). So I suppose ultimately brushing the whole thing under the carpet worked

Anyone know what he actually did? Or seen the letter he sent out? 'losing his temper' sounds extemely euphemistic...

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
