This summer, Altrincham Grammar School for Boys bids a fond farewell to Mr. Eddie Hall, who is retiring after an illustrious 22-year tenure as Deputy Head. Eddie, an Oxford University graduate in History and an ardent Liverpool FC supporter, joined AGSB in 2002. Before his time with us, he held various roles in three other grammar schools, bringing with him a wealth of experience and dedication.

During his tenure at AGSB, Eddie became best known for his leadership in pastoral care and safeguarding. However, his contributions extended far beyond these roles. He also managed the academic curriculum at Key Stage 3, oversaw Staff Professional Development, and led a number of Teaching and Learning initiatives. Additionally, Eddie has proved to be an exceptional history teacher and a successful football coach, leading AGSB teams for 19 years (including two Trafford Cup titles).

The position of a pastoral Deputy Head in a school of nearly 1,400 boys is undoubtedly challenging and not for the faint-hearted. Yet, Eddie has embraced these challenges with exceptional dedication and excelled in every aspect of his role. Over the past 22 years, he has demonstrated unwavering commitment to the school, the staff, and most importantly, the students.

Eddie's care, compassion, and empathy have left a lasting impact on countless boys, parents, and colleagues. He has been instrumental in fostering a happy, tolerant, and respectful school community. His influence has been profound, creating an environment where every student can thrive.

As we bid Eddie farewell, we extend our heartfelt thanks for his remarkable contributions to AGSB. His legacy will continue to inspire and shape the school for years to come.
