To-day the task of a headmaster or a headmistress is a particularly heavy one.
It is a first-rate school with a very good headmistress and staff.
One cannot expect a headmistress to suddenly jack in everything because one is coming to visit the next day because our business has been changed.
Some of the greatest headmasters and headmistresses have come from outside the profession.
Thirty-two of the comprehensive schools, and seven of the mixed schools, had headmistresses.
In the old days these copies would have been taken across by a schoolboy, who would have got an effective receipt from the headmistress.
In addition, of course there is a large secretariat which enables a headmistress to be freed from a good deal of administrative work.
They think that they are witnessing the retirement of a popular headmistress under circumstances that some might regret.
