Mr W Stanley Porter

In 1955 he became headmaster of the College in succession to Kirkman and was a science teacher by training. During his headship the College celebrated its centenary and the opening of the Athlone Hall. This period also saw the building of the Science Block and Moreau House. He retired as headmaster in 1971. He died on 6 July 2000 aged 91 and left a legacy of around £750,000 to the College, which has been used to build the Headmaster Porter Theatre in the Athlone Hall. This was officially opened in November 2006 by the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
