Mr. T. T. R. Lockhart 1922 – 1954 Mr. Lockhart was the longest serving Headmaster of the School, and was Headmaster for 32 years. He had served with Distinction during the 1st World War and was awarded the Military Cross. Although a strict disciplinarian, he gained great admiration and respect from both staff and pupils. During his time the School roll went from approximately 300 pupils to approximately 800. In 1922 the ratio was two thirds Foundations/Boarders to one third Day Scholars; in 1954 the ratio was three quarters Day Scholars to one quarter Foundationers / Boarders, so during this period huge changes were made both in the Boarding House and the School buildings to accommodate this increase in numbers. He made great changes and improvements to the curriculum and also encouraged pupils to take part in extra-curricular activities with the formation of clubs such as Chess, Modern Languages, Geography, Model Railway, photography and Gramophone Society to name just a few.
