Description
Bishop Bright Grammar School's liberal approach to education and Catholicism sent shockwaves throughout the Birmingham Diocese in 1920s Leamington Spa. This book tells the story behind its creation, led by Headmaster Peter Hastings.
As the school's leader, Hastings encouraged his students to cultivate "satiable curteousity" and strive for excellence. His approach not only shaped the lives of those who attended but also offers valuable lessons for educators about the power of self-awareness and curiosity in children.
This book provides a unique insight into the early years of Bishop Bright Grammar School, highlighting the enduring impact of Hastings' vision on education and beyond.
