Mrs Brenda Elgar and Mr John Tullett, two of NPBHS's longest-serving teaching staff, were farewelled last Friday.
Both have had a lengthy history with NPBHS, Mrs Elgar (along with husband Alan Elgar), moved into Carrington House in 1983 where they lived for three years. Then in 1991, Mrs Elgar began her first day relieving at NPBHS.
By 2009 she was made a permanent member of staff and from then onward she has taught up to three classes alongside the remedial groups.

Mr Tullet has had 28 fine years of teaching at NPBHS including teaching Social Studies, Design, Photography, Art History, Painting and junior Art. Mr Tullett has been both the head of the Art department and head of the Arts and Languages faculty. His educational philosophy and humanist approach ensured that he created a culture of trust and kindness.

They will be missed by their faculties, and the school, and we wish them both all the very best for their retirement. ... See MoreSee Less
