Good Schools Guide

John Floyd voted 'Best Prep School Head'

"A parent tells us that ‘the word “brilliant” does not do justice to John Floyd’, the ‘witty’ and ‘likeable’ Head. Boys arrive struggling with their confidence, and he ‘helps them to understand their strengths and why they should have faith in themselves’."
