Peter Fraser

Co-Vice Chair

I have taught in sev­en inde­pen­dent schools includ­ing day and board­ing, coed­u­ca­tion­al and sin­gle sex insti­tu­tions for the past 35 years. In addi­tion, I have worked inter­na­tion­al­ly in Brazil and most recent­ly in Ire­land. My con­nec­tion with the Stam­ford area dates from 2000 when I was appoint­ed as the Head at Stam­ford School (2000 – 2005) and I sub­se­quent­ly served as the Head of Colston’s School in Bris­tol ( 2005 – 2014) and, most recent­ly, Prin­ci­pal of St Andrew’s Col­lege, Dublin (2014- 2016).

I have taught Physics, Maths and Chem­istry through­out my career and also coached foot­ball, rug­by, hock­ey and crick­et teams. I have been a Head of Depart­ment, Board­ing House­mas­ter, Deputy Head­mas­ter and also served as a mem­ber of the HMC Sports’ Com­mit­tee for sev­er­al years.

My per­son­al inter­ests are pre­dom­i­nate­ly sport­ing – now main­ly golf, but also encom­pass car main­te­nance, motor­cy­cles and some aspects of gardening!

Fol­low­ing my retire­ment, I main­tain a keen inter­est in cur­rent edu­ca­tion­al issues – par­tic­u­lar­ly relat­ing to uni­ver­si­ty entrance, employ­a­bil­i­ty and the impact of new tech­nol­o­gy on edu­ca­tion.
