"As some of you may have heard, I lost my temper with a member of staff at the staff party of July 4 - the only time in my career that this happened. This incident has caused me to reflect on the toll which leading a complex, multinational institution like Dulwich has taken on me, particularly given the significant challenges we have all faced in recent years."
"Parents, who can pay up to 55,000 a year to send a child to the school, also received a letter from the chair of governors Adrian Carr who said Spence, who was due to retire next August, would stay on at the historic school in an ambassadorial and advisory capacity."
"In May 2024, Spence was shortlisted for the Times Education Supplement Independent Headteacher of the Year award. An interim headmaster will take over before Robert Milne, headmaster of Emanuel School in Battersea, takes over next September."
