Speedy returns to St Peter’s

Jason Speedy is the fourth head of school at St Peter’s School in a decade; the Cambridge school only had five in 80 years before that. Steph Bell-Jenkins talks to the man whose mischievous nature saw him push a fully-dressed chaplain into the school pool and how he intends to put things right.

Jason Speedy’s personal mantra is spelt out in huge, metre-high letters on a building at St Peter’s Cambridge.

The  sign  reads: “be the best you can be”.
