| In Memoriam |
Fen Whittle worked as a Maths teacher at Princethorpe College from 1993 to 2018. Fen was much loved by her pupils and a valued and highly respected colleague. She passed peacefully on 14 July 2026.
Gerry Lovely worked in the Estates department from 1975 until retirement in 2020, after nearly 45 years of service. Gerry was passionate about the College and oversaw many changes in his time as a key member of the Estates team. He passed away on 10 July 2026, and you can read a moving tribute to Gerry on our OPs Facebook post dated 14 July 2026 at Facebook | Old Princethorpians.
Both Fen and Gerry always had a spark and a smile and added hugely to the Princethorpe ethos.
Please keep Gerry, Fen and their families in your thoughts and prayers.
