Leaving a legacy after 18 years leading school

In the 13th episode of the Echo Dispatch, Jason went to Bournemouth School for Girls to meet Alistair Brien in the final week of his time as headteacher.

Alistair had been at the helm of the large school for 18 years and experienced all sorts of tests in this time.

During the interview he discussed how the role of a headteacher had changed, what he was most proud of in his time at BSG and the challenge Covid created for schools.

The member of the magic circle also explained the advice he had given to his successor and what the future holds for him.
