Mr Alan Taylor-Bennett

After a first degree in theoretical physics from Durham I spent a year at Oxford and then began teaching science. I moved down to West Sussex in the early eighties as a head of physics and then head of science in a very large secondary school on the coast. After some years in school senior leadership in another West Sussex school I was appointed headteacher of a secondary school in Hampshire. I was there for ten years before becoming Her Majesty’s Inspector of Education with Ofsted for 9 years. In my semi retirement I now run my own school improvement consultancy business. My children attended Bishop Luffa and I became a director to help to ensure that every Luffa student here now gets a similarly high quality of education and care that both of them benefited from and enjoyed.
