Newfield School History

Recommended Posts

I will add another bit of information regarding David Gallagher who is mentioned in this thread as a strict teacher with overzealous methods of controlling and punishment.

 

David later became my brother-in-law and had a wonderfully rich career. After leaving Newfield and teaching he went on to work for the Royal Household as assistant press secretary to our Queen for which he was knighted, he then worked in Whitehall for which I cannot say further, after which he worked for many huge international corporations, became a lawyer, he was married by the Pope in Rome. The last time I saw him was in 2017 at his sisters, my sister-in-laws, funeral; at that time he was a lobbyist in Brussels. Sadly he passed away in 2018 at the age of 79.

Mr Gallagher took me for maths which was always a very interesting lesson to say the least. I am amazed and also gobsmacked reading what he achieved after leaving Newfield and teaching. sure was one hell of a guy and someone his family can be very proud of
