From the Headmaster's Desk

Originally from the Wirral, Douglas Robb was educated at Birkenhead School, followed by Edinburgh University and Cambridge University. He has taught in Prince Edward School Harare in Zimbabwe, Fettes College in Scotland and Loughborough Grammar School. Mr Robb came to Oswestry from Oundle School, where he taught Economics and Politics. He helped coach the 1st XV rugby team, as well as football, tennis and cricket teams. His interests are primarily sporting, both field and ball. While he taught at Oundle School he was also in charge of clay-pigeon shooting. Douglas Robb is not just a keen sportsman; The Gastronomy Society and The Scottish Dancing Club were also under his direction!

Mr Robb is joined in Oswestry by his wife Lucinda and children Miranda, Hector and Fergus who enjoy being at Bellan House, Oswestry School’s preparatory department, which is located in the centre of Oswestry five minutes walk from the senior school.

On arrival at Oswestry School, Mr Robb said: "I am absolutely delighted to have been given the opportunity to lead a school with such a rich history. Exciting times lie ahead and with the continued investment and commitment to improving the wonderful site, so close to the town, I am determined to carry on the fantastic work that has been completed over the last few years."
