THE new headteacher at Dyson Perrins CE High School is singing its praises after completing his first week of term.
"When I worked at Nunnery Wood I used to bring rugby teams here and I've always thought it was a great school," said David Griffin.
"The students are superb, the staff dedicated and it's known as a caring school." Mr Griffin, who has lived in Malvern for the past eight years, said he was delighted when the headship at the 980-pupil school became available on the retirement of Peter Buchanan.
A history teacher by training, Mr Griffin said he would not let his new duties stop him doing at least some classroom teaching."It's vitally important," he said.
"It's the only way to get to know the pupils and to win their respect and the respect of the teachers.
"The focus is always going to be on teaching and learning. It's our raison d'etre."
