The Friendlier Headmaster
On his arrival at the school, the previous headmaster made a large impression on the everyday life of the school. Eliminating fizzy drinks and chocolate bars from the vending machines in an effort to jump on the Jamie Oliver bandwagon (although strictly, he didn't actually "jump on the Jamie Oliver bandwagon" since it was government guidelines thus compulsory anyway), he has really dealt with the issues that matter the most to himself.
His new decision to induct a 6th form uniform regime has come under criticism from many parents and a vast majority of the 6th formers who now see themselves as adults and wish to be treated as such.
Lord Morris set up the guitar group, as well as outlining his proposed direction for the school in his arrival speech.
He supports Liverpool Football Club and will always give the entire school an update on their latest games, wins etc. in whole school assemblies, with many scowls, hisses and curses coming from Man Utd supporting students.
It has been said by some students that he bears a striking resemblance to Captain Jean Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise.
He is a secret fan of Harry Potter, and thinks that Harry and Hermione should have got together. Or, if you are a Harry Potter fan, he is a closet and a Harry/Hermione shipper.
He left school at the end of the 2011 academic year to become Headmaster of Sha Tin college in Hong Kong.

Mr Morris' Building Plans
Since arriving at the school, Lord Morris has overseen the final stages of the £1 000 000 Sports Hall being built, has got planning permission for a new performing arts block, is converting the old gym into a Super Common Room for the sixth form and God knows what he is going to do with the old common rooms. Possibly some sort of exam room, as there isn't anywhere big enough and quiet enough except the Sports Hall, which is needed for PE lessons.
