A truly remarkable and inspirational Headteacher, who led with integrity, warmth and compassion. My journey through life has been influenced enormously from being a pupil in Alan’s school; I am forever grateful and feel very privileged to have known him.

I remember Mr. Bacon when he was my headmaster at Priory High School in the 80s. It was a very sad day when he left.
He used to stand outside of the school gate at the end of the school day every day to see us home.
So very well respected and thought after. RIP Mr. Bacon.
