Victoria met the Chairman of Governors at Lancing College, Dr Harry Brunjes, to present him with a copy of her latest book Boarding Schools: All you need to know. Prep4 joined forces with Jennifer Ma from Arch Education in Hong Kong to produce the book, which was published last month by John Catt Educational. Staff and students at Lancing College were very helpful during their extensive period of research, answering all sorts of questions about boarding and related issues. Dr Brunjes filled us in on some of the latest developments at the school, including the appointment of Mr Dominic Oliver as new Headmaster. We look forward to meeting him in due course!
