Dear Parents,

It is with regret that I am writing to inform you of the resignation of Dr Tony Collins from the Headship of Wycliffe College for personal reasons. This is with immediate effect.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous contribution he has made to Wycliffe College. The College has thrived under his leadership, as is evidenced by our recent excellent inspection reports. Tony's vision and commitment shaped a flourishing community, which is now well placed to face the future with a strong profile and excellent reputation.

Mrs. Margie Burnet Ward has agreed to be Acting Head until a suitable successor to Tony Collins is found. I have every confidence in her and all of the Wycliffe staff. We will be advertising for Tony's successor in the near future.

Yours sincerely,
Paul Etheridge
Chairman of the Council of Governors
