My mother, Moyra Taylor, who has died aged 91, after contracting Covid-19, had a lively, sometimes audacious, appetite for life, whether hitchhiking through Europe with her two best friends in the early 1950s, or coaxing me, her more cautious daughter, to accept an invitation to get in the car of a man we had just met in Jaipur to attend his daughter’s wedding.

Her mother, Agnes Fyfe, had worked in the family’s fishmonger’s business before she married.

With 20 years of school leadership experience, Warnes is well placed to reflect on the challenges the pandemic has thrown up for everyone, and how staff are drawing on their extra reserves to help families navigate the crisis and maintain the spirit of Christmas.
In 2020 BSB was ranked one of the best private schools in the world. How has this been achieved?
