It is my sad duty to share the news of the death of Martin Marriott (Staff 1966-1976) on 30th July 2025 in Salisbury. Prior to his appointment at Haileybury Martin taught at Heversham School. His rise at Haileybury was meteoric – he became HM of Trevelyan in 1968 and Second Master in 1972, taking on the difficult role of Acting Master in 1975 following the sudden death of Bill Stewart. He will be remembered fondly by OHs and former colleagues from this time when he held the school together with great strength of character and dedication to duty.

During his time at Haileybury he taught English, History, Latin and Geography and was active in the CCF, ran Squash, helped with Athletics and, together with his late wife Judy, was a great participant in the annual Pastimes productions. From Haileybury, Martin was appointed as Headmaster of Canford School in September 1976, where he remained until his retirement in 1992, after which he mentored many potential and new school Head teachers.

We send sincere condolences to Martin’s family – Ginny, Bex and Charlie, and his grandchildren at this sad time.
