"Laura Gauld, from the Bath campus, has been appointed the new head of Hyde/Woodstock. As the parent of a student at Bath, I have seen her in action many times. She will be superb."

Laura Gauld may be very competent. However, key components of the Hyde model are fundamentally flawed. For me to refer to Hyde any of the parents who approach me, in their efforts to find the right school for their child, I'd need to see evidence of a significant overhaul in the school's ways of treating students and parents, qualifications and training of faculty, the school's ability to screen out students whose mental health and substance abuse issues aren't likely to be addressed at Hyde, the quality of the classroom experience, etc. Anyone who knows boarding schools knows there's a huge difference between the competence of a headmaster and the overall quality of a school's philosophy, staff, education, and so on. I wish Laura Gauld well. The mere fact that she's at the helm doesn't convince me that I should refer anyone to Hyde. Perhaps the Hyde culture will change with her at the helm; I have my doubts that she can change the very disturbing aspects of the Hyde School culture.

Laura Gauld might be very good, but in order to have the school run properly they need a full time on campus Headmaster. This will not be the case with Laura. Why is it that Hyde School and the Gauld's do not want to let someone other than a family member run the school? Why are they jeopardizing the quality of the school by having a part time Headmaster rather than promoting someone else from within. Could it be that there is no one qualified?

Where did you get this info from? According to the school she is commuting every weekend. Did something change?

Laura is the best thing about Hyde School, but that doesn't change a flawed system that is bigger than she is by far.
