Dear Editor,
I wish to clarify a very misleading article in your November issue entitled ‘Kingham head search’, in which you make reference to the flying of rainbow flags in the school’s library and chapel.
As the former head of Kingham Hill School I was horrified when I learned that this had happened, yet your article appears to suggest it happened on my watch. Nothing could be further from the truth. The school, whose ethos is to educate children in accordance with evangelical and Protestant teaching, was inspected by the ISI in 2021. It was rated excellent in every educational aspect, but failed the inspection overall, principally because I had upheld Biblical teaching on marriage and would not endorse Pride in the school.
