OUR NEW BUILD PROJECT
We’re pleased to announce the completion of our new build project. Today, students and staff used the new classrooms for the first time. See our feature above to see the build from start, to finish.
We have named the new building ‘The Grove’, after Gordon Grove.
Gordon was a true Henrician, having attended Prince Henry’s as a pupil from 1949 – 56, returning to the school in 1962 as a teacher. As well as teaching Maths, he taught PE (his love of Prince Henry’s rivalled only by his passion for Aston Villa), and was a key figure in the school’s CCF corps. He retired as Head of Mathematics in Summer 1994, but remained involved with the school in a variety of roles, not least as a lynchpin of the Old Henricians – the network for our former students, for which he produced regular newsletters and updates.
He was a kind, thoughtful and caring human being, and, “a gentleman of the old school”.
