Jeff Mayo retired in 1981 and passed the school to Richard Young from Plymouth, England. Jeff remained Principal Emeritus. Sadly, Richard passed away soon after taking over. His wife Marion continued running the school with the appointment of Jackie Hudson as Director of Studies. In 1987, Jackie Hudson became Principal and managed the school for the next twenty years. In 2007, Wendy Stacey became Jackie Hudson’s successor as Principal. The School has been proud to maintain Jeff Mayo’s ideal of offering a sensibly priced course based on sound basic techniques across a broad syllabus to international students.
