13 May 2024
In Memory

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nigel Kynaston, former KS2 Class Teacher and Head Of Music at our Junior School between 1982-1987. During his time, Nigel was praised for his vast contribution to school life and particularly for instilling a love of music in the pupils of the Junior School. Beyond SGS, Nigel enjoyed a number of posts in international schools in Kenya, Qatar and Kuwait.

Nigel passed away in hospital on 30th April 2024, aged 64. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends from across the world.

We extend our condolences to Nigel's family and friends at this difficult time.
