Former Sandown teacher discovers two of his students are running in the election too
As a teacher, Gary says he is always perturbed by comments that young people are apathetic or not interested in politics
Following news earlier in the week of a former teacher standing in the 2021 Isle of Wight council elections and discovering during a Zoom call that two of his students were standing alongside him, we have news of more teacher and students candidates.
Gary Clarke taught at Sandown High School (which became Sandown Bay Academy and now The Bay CE School) from 2001 to 2017 and was staff governor and head of sixth form for most of that time.
Former Sandown High School teacher John Angus (Gus) Baker has died at the age of 81. Gus was born in Hounslow on August 6, 1939, just before the outbreak of the Second World War. He lived with his parents and elder brother, Roger in Isleworth, Middlesex. His earliest memories were of hiding in the cupboard under the stairs, hearing the sound of aircraft, sirens and the whistle of bombs overhead. The family were sheltering in the meter cupboard when the house behind them was hit and the back of their home was blown outwards during spring 1943. Gus was later evacuated with his brother during the V2 strike in 1945 and spent some time in Devon, where he tried his first doughnut.
