Obituary: Peter Bentley

March 2020

Peter Bentley was headteacher of Krefeld School in 1980s.

Peter died in Bristol in March this year, aged 72. 
Peter eturned to UK where he became head of a school in Westbury-on-Trym. 
Lynn Eckersley (deputy at Krefeld with Martin Powell) remembers: 
"​I am so sorry to hear about Peter. I worked with Alice at Hampshire School on Ayrshire Barracks when I first went out to Germany. She and Peter were really good to me and really helped me with the settling in process. Peter was a real live wire and always good fun to be with. We lost contact when they returned to UK. Martin Powell and Peter were very good friends. Peter was the HT of Krefeld School and I remember him saying that he would walk around the school in the evening switching off the lights and thinking what a wonderful place to work."
