As Head at Hydesville I was particularly grateful for David's advice and support for our development plans for the school. David brought the soundest of business skills as well as an up to date knowledge of information technology to the school's administration and was very helpful to the school's music and drama with his skills in photography and sound recording; his flair for design also played a very creative role in the school's promotion programme. Above all I greatly enjoyed working with David, personally as well as professionally in our time together at Hydesville.
