After 36 years at Framlingham College, Martin will be stepping down from his full-time role at the school and as such, it is fitting that his exceptional contribution to the life of the College be recognised.
Over the years, many of you will have known Martin in a variety of guises: Head of the Prep School (twice), HM (twice), CCF Contingent Commander, teacher of Chemistry and Biology, Sports Coach, Leader of overseas expeditions, Head of the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, Head of Health & Safety, Sports Day mastermind, Head of Sixth Form, Senior Master, Vice President of the Society of Old Framlinghamians, Development Director and creator of the Sixth Form Bursary fund, amongst other roles.
Framlingham Through and Through
Martin is an integral part of the life of this school and as such he has had a significant influence on many of us as individuals, and on all of us as a community. Martin is Framlingham College through and through, he upholds our values and is passionate about education both within and beyond the classroom. His warmth, sense of humour, ability to enthuse, persuade and cajole, his high expectations and immense work ethic are just a few of the qualities that you will no doubt think of when you think of Martin.
The College intends to mark Martin’s retirement by presenting him with a gift at Speech Day this year. Should you wish to contribute to this gift, we would like to invite you to make your contribution via the donate button below. The closing date for contributions to this collection is the 15 June.
We will be hosting a variety of events to express our gratitude to Martin and to recognise the significant contribution he has made. That said, importantly and perhaps unsurprisingly, he will be back with us in September 2026, albeit in a part time role, still leading the CCF and the DofE amongst other things! Martin is a remarkable man whose loyalty and dedication to Framlingham College is second to none. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this gift for Martin.
