Peter, Karen and I were very upset to hear about the sad and tragic news about Mr David Coleshill. Please pass our condolences onto his friends and family. 

Although our interactions with Mr Coleshill were generally fairly brief as we entered and left the school each morning and afternoon, we were always struck by his friendliness, politeness and dedication to the challenging task of organising hundreds of children and parents to enter/exit the school in a manner that ultimately played a part in keeping us all safe during the pandemic. We have no doubt that he applied this professionalism and dedication to his ‘regular day job’. He will certainly be missed by all children, parents and staff at Whitehall and we look forward to a permanent memorial to his legacy being put in place in the future. RIP Mr Coleshill.
