John went onto to read History at Oxford University after leaving the School. In 1958 he was ordained Deacon and in 1959 he was ordained Priest. He became Vicar of Ollerton and later Wollaton.

John was the School Governor from 1979 – 1997 representing Oxford University. He maintained his keen interest in the school throughout his life.

Our thoughts are with his wife Sue and his three sons, who all attended the School.
