THE WARDEN

‘ Ambition, friendliness and fun are the hallmarks

of a St Edward’s education – and I hope that you will visit us in Oxford to see them for your yourself. ’ THE WARDEN

Alastair Chirnside, formerly Deputy Head at Harrow and a House Master at Eton, became Warden of St Edward’s in September 2021. Alastair was brought up in Oxford and attended the Dragon School, winning a King’s Scholarship to Eton. He took a Congratulatory First in Classics and Modern Languages at Merton College, Oxford, where he also won a Half Blue in Lightweight Rowing. Before embarking on his teaching career, Alastair worked in fund management at Schroders. ‘ The Warden, Alastair Chirnside, is a modest powerhouse. He knows what he wants to achieve at Teddies and is unlikely to fail. He’s down to earth, kind, approachable and has a genuine interest in the success and wellbeing of his students; he delights in celebrating with them their many achievements. ’ A TEDDIES PARENT
