Radford Semele Head steps down after 23 years

Paul Wyllie joined Radford Semele C of E School, which is on the outskirts of Leamington, in 1993 as the head.

Over the years Mr Wyllie has entertained staff and pupils with his jokes and his guitar.

Last Friday the pupils bid farewell to their head teacher in their Christmas assembly at St Nicholas Church.

The assembly was Status Quo themed because Mr Wyllie is known to be one of their biggest fans.

All of the children brought along cardboard guitars that they had decorated as part of theme and they then used them when they performed their own version of Status Quo’s “Whatever you want”.

At the assembly Robin Brabban, Chair of the school’s Governors, said: “Mr Wyllie has dedicated 23 years of his life to being the head teacher at Radford Semele and and I would like to thank him for his dedicated service to the school and for his support given to parents, pupils and staff.”
