It was with great sadness that we heard the news that Enid Walker passed away on 4th September 2024, at the age of 87.
Enid enjoyed an almost lifelong connection with Prince Henry’s, first as a pupil from 1949 to 1954 at what was then Prince Henry’s Grammar School. An accomplished and enthusiastic sportswoman, enjoying tennis, squash and golf throughout her life, Enid also played hockey for England. Therefore, she proved to be a real asset when she returned to Prince Henry’s in 1965 as a PE coach and teacher, a role she fulfilled until her retirement, after which time, she regularly returned to school up until 2019 as a valued member of our exam invigilation team.
Enid was also a fantastic flower arranger, and for many years produced the wonderful floral displays in our main reception and for Open Evenings and Speech Days.
Her last visit to Prince Henry’s was in December 2023, when we were able to welcome her back to school for a tea party with other former students and for her to share with us her memories of her almost 70-year association with the school.
Enid embodied all the qualities that we value so highly at Prince Henry’s, and our thoughts are with her family and friends at this very sad time.
