Tribute to Dave Clark from Richmond School: Dave Clark was the 'heart and soul' of Richmond School. He was an enormous character, a brilliant school leader and simply a lovely man who enriched the life of everyone he came into contact with, just by being himself and doing what he did every day. Dave was appointed to Richmond School in 1997 as Head of Key Stages 3 and 4 and teacher of PE. He was highly regarded by everyone he taught and families appreciated his firm but fair manner and the very high standards he expected of every student in the school. He was promoted to the role of Deputy Headteacher in 2003 and revelled in the challenges the post presented. Dave was always the person we looked to to deal with difficult issues and he was a master at that. He never let students get away with being anything other than their very best, never giving up on them, even when at times it felt as though they wanted to give up on themselves. All of this, Dave did with a smile and a level of kindness and care that is seldom seen. Outside school, Dave was a keen sportsman. He had grown to love the Dales and would often be seen cycling, walking and spending time on the moor during the beating season. Our students and their parents have been lucky to have known and been helped by him. We have been privileged as a staff to have worked with him and will continue working in the same way in his memory. Above all, Dave was a family man. Our thoughts are with Dave's wife, his children and wider family at this difficult time.
