HEADMASTER - Robert Carlysle

Robert read History at King's College, London, graduating in 1978 with an Upper Second Class Honours. He followed this with a Postgraduate Certificate of Education, again at King's, which he passed with a Distinction. He also became an Associate of King's College.

Robert's first post was as an Assistant History, Politics and English teacher at Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School, a highly academic State Grammar School in Kent. During his time there, one of his History students won the Royal Historical Society's Prize for the best A level script. He also became involved in Girls' Physical Education, coaching a number of girls' hockey teams, including one which became county champions, and arranging several hockey tours both in the UK and Europe.

Robert then moved to Sir William Perkins' School for Girls, one of the foremost GSA schools in Surrey, as Head of History. During this period he was nominated for a Radio 4 Teaching Award by pupils and parents. He continued his commitment to girls' hockey, but also became instrumental in setting up the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme at the school. This involved him passing his Mountain Walking Leader Summer Course, and leading expeditions up to Gold Level.

Robert's next move was to the post of Deputy Head at Wentworth College, a GSA boarding and day school in Dorset. Here he helped a group of pupils to win a Barclays New Futures Award to set up a community service project to work with a special school local to Wentworth. He also set up a Neighbourhood Engineer Scheme, a Creative Arts Programme and was amongst the first Deputies to be trained as Inspectors by the Independent Schools Inspectorate as well as joining the first cohort undertaking the National Professional Qualification for Headteachers.

In 1998 Robert was the founding Headmaster of The Moat School, in Fulham. This specialist school for dyslexics was established under his leadership and is now recognised as a centre of excellence in this field of education. In 2004 his school won the Times Educational Supplement's Newsday competition. He also completed his MBA (Leicester) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Literacy and Dyslexia (York). In January 2007 he joined More House.

Robert is married to Terry. They have one daughter, Felicity, who is in her third year of her Biochemistry degree at Royal Holloway College, London. He is a practising Catholic and is active within the life of his parish.
