The Headmaster Arthur Bennett was actually very kind , friendly and amusing guy. When I first arrived at the school as a 7 year old I did not know he was was the Head and thought he was the maintenance man as he seemed to spend a lot of time checking that all the radiators throughout the school were working properly. He did not actually have his own class but would deputise when a teacher was absent and would also sometimes take one of the senior classes for half a day or so to check pupil ability which in retrospect was probably a form of assessment of the ability of his teachers. He did however have one quirk.
