Andrew Elliot Perry left school following a most undistinguished academic career and embarked on a musical career. After gaining a place at the Royal Academy of Music, he became director of music at Cheam School, Newbury. In 1972, he entered into partnership as headmaster of St. Piran’s School, Maidenhead.
