Warden Park announces that Peter Chisholm MBE is to take a well- deserved early retirement from teaching and school leadership at Christmas 2017.

After 37 years of distinguished service clearly the teaching profession and the Academy will miss Mr Chisholm's patriarchal influence and yet with so much drive and enthusiasm it is great that he can apply this to other interests and ventures.

Of course, his family will come top of his list with their successful rugby prowess along with Sue, his wife, also a much respected school teacher. Mr Chisholm began his teaching career in 1981in Wiltshire but promotion soon beckoned and he joined Warden Park School in 1985. For the last 33 years he has variously led the PE curriculum and held many pastoral roles. As Head of the then 'Junior House' he really made a name for himself in helping the youngsters transition from primary school and quickly settle in and establish themselves at Warden Park. In recent years Mr Chisholm has held the most senior positions of Deputy Head and currently Joint Head of School. Mr Chisholm managed the England Schoolboy Football team in 2004-6 to unprecedented success and was named National School’s Coach of the year accordingly. In 2016 Mr Chisholm was honoured with an MBE for services to Education, charitable works and youth sports spanning his entire career. I am quite sure that many people whose lives he has touched will want to join with me in wishing Mr Chisholm, Pete, a wonderfully long and happy retirement.
