James Speight, head teacher of Rouge Bouillon School, is stepping down at the end of the summer term after working in six schools across the Island.
The father-of-four – Matthew (33), Marc (31) and twins Adam and Joel (28) – says that after 39 years in the profession, he will miss working with children.
‘Children keep you well-grounded,’ Mr Speight, who is married to fellow teacher Kate, said. ‘They are really the reason why you teach. Children can do some amazing, different and funny things at times.’
