Dr Simon Hyde, The General Secretary of the HMC is seen here congratulating the Head of College, Mr Dominic Mott, on the college’s 100 years of HMC membership. This year's HMC South East meeting was held at Hurst College, giving senior members of staff and pupils the chance to discuss challenges and how the HMC can help.

Founded in 1869, HMC was the world’s first association for headteachers and currently consists of over 300 members in the British Isles – educating more than 270,000 pupils – and around 50 further members across the globe.
