Meet the PresidentThe following extract is taken from 'The Sibfordian'.
I started at Sibford in 1959, following in my father Donald's footsteps, who was there from 1934 to 1938. He enjoyed talking about his time at school and at exeat weekends we compared his time at Sibford with mine, both recounting our fortune to have been taught by Gladys Burgess. My sister, Nicola, came to Sibford in 1961. As we left home on her first day Dad told me to ask the Bursar if he could have a fee discount as there were two of us at the School. I duly asked but I don't think the Bursar was too impressed as there was not discount! My brother Graham, started at Sibford in September 1964 as I left in the July, so there was a ten year span of Hughes's. Another comfort was to be located in Holmby House, which was then the junior boys accommodation, and being looked after by Miriam Guest. In September 1960 we moved into the new boys houses, and I was in Penn. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Sibford, especially the opportunities to play a lot of sport. My links with the School were firmly re-established in 2008, when I was appointed to the School Committee as one of SOSA's representatives. Richard Hughes - President of SOSA

I was bought up in a small market town in north Dorset in the early 1950s - very much a rural setting like Oxfordshire.
