Former Chairman of the Governors Mr Denis Hobley died suddenly this morning. No further news are available at the moment.
Mr Hobley was a kind, caring and wise friend of the school who served as a dedicated Chairman on the Board of Governors. He continued with the Birkdale Trust for Hearing Impaired after the school closed.
Mr Hobley was a kind, caring Director and Chair of Governors. His wisdom and humour were invaluable assets. He always took a great interest in the pupils and members of staff. I appreciated his support and advice throughout my time as Principal. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family at this sad time.
