The head's story
Description
In the summer of 2002 Geoff Fisher, head teacher of St. Andrew's CofE Primary School, became a key spokesman for the village of Soham, as it came to terms with the disappearance and murder of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, two year 6 pupils at his school. In this exclusive and revealing interview, Fisher recalls the series of tragic events which put him and his school on the front pages of the world's press and gives a revealing insight into how one ordinary head tried to rebuild a shocked and devastated school community. One of the most traumatic issues he had to face was confronting the girls parents, in the knowledge that a teaching assistant he had appointed had almost certainly been involved in the crime, I can remember thinking that would be one of the most difficult things I would ever have to do.
