Non-fiction:
Churchill & the Secret Service by David Stafford ‘A startlingly good book.’ MRD Foot, SPECTATOR
Heads Up by Dominic Carman ‘This is a fascinating and unique book, often punchy, at times outrageous, and always difficult to put down. Somehow, Dominic Carman has spirited out of a set of leading heads’ views and opinions which they probably would never acknowledge in public, as well as the occasional traditional view. The approaches are in many cases entirely contradictory, yet the effects on schools are clearly very comparable. No head - or governor – should be without this book; and for many parents it will be an eye-opening and extraordinary read.’ Tim Hands, master Magdalen College School, HMC chairman 2013-2014
