Peter Curtis - Biology teacher 1967 to 1980

(Obituary - The Gazette 66)

We have recently been informed that Peter Curtis passed away peacefully on 30th April 2017 aged 79. He was a biology teacher at the school from January 1967 until the school closed. Since leaving the school he taught in Dorking for a while and then retired, moving to Spain for 20 years. He returned to Surrey in 2008 and then in 2014 he moved to Norfolk to be closer to family. In recent years he was taken for drives around Ottershaw Park so he could reminisce and tell stories. He loved his time teaching at the school and all the activities that he was involved in included the ATC and Young Farmers club. His children grew up in the park and share lots of happy memories.
