Philip Barlow taught Classics at Alleyn's from 1974 to his retirement in 2011. An inspirational teacher, he demanded hard work and high standards and was loved by his pupils for the interest and care he took with them. He was Senior Classics Master (as he preferred to be styled) from 1983-2007 and inherited and expanded a department distinctive for its rigorous teaching and utter dedication to the ancient and noble subject. In his time, he was also a School Counsellor, a House Tutor of Spurgeon's for several decades and President of the Staff Common Room. Philip was domus scholar at King's College, Cambridge and had a brilliant mind which he used to inspire generations of students and colleagues at Alleyn's. He sadly died in April 2020 from complications due to Covid-19. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
