Taunton School says goodbye to 'much loved' teacher retiring after 30 years

TAUNTON School has said goodbye to one of its "most loved" teachers who has retired after 30 years.

Mark ‘Chatts’ Chatterton joined the school in 1990, teaching in the history department. He then became head of history and head of Oxbridge.

Taunton School said in a Facebook post: "The end of the academic year has seen us say goodbye to one of our most loved members of staff, Mark ‘Chatts’ Chatterton.

"Chatts has been a teacher at Taunton School for more than 30 years, joining the history department in 1990 and quickly becoming Head of History and Head of Oxbridge, a role which saw Chatts assist students with their Oxford and Cambridge applications.

"We have absolutely loved Chatts being such a huge part of the Taunton School community for so many years.

"Wishing you a long, happy and restful retirement Chatts, you will be dearly missed!
