Richard joined as Headmaster of Garden House Boys’ School in April 2025.
After gaining an honours degree in Economics from Leicester University he went on to complete a
PGCE in Primary Education at Roehampton University and an MA in School Leadership at St Mary's.

Richard has taught in a range of state and private schools, at pre-prep, prep and senior levels. Most recently he was Acting Head at Eltham College Junior School. Prior to this he was Head at The
Hampshire School, and Director of Studies at Wetherby Prep.

Richard believes that a sense of community and belonging are vital in providing children with the resilience and determination needed to thrive. He takes time to build strong relationships with
parents and children to ensure that the very best decisions are made for the children’s future.

He values time in the classroom and enjoys taking maths lessons when he can, as well as clubs in anything from card games to running.

Richard is married to Lucy, a prep school teacher, and they have two teenage children.
