Who was Kinman?

Kinman is the newest House, formed in September 2007. It is named after Major George W Kinman MA, Headmaster of Hertford Grammar School 1905-1927, 21 years. Major Kinman was unusual for the time in that he encouraged extra-curricular activities and did not just focus on ‘bookwork’. He was responsible for re-instating the White Gloves Ceremony.

Miss Hartnett, Head of House, says:

I am honoured to be given the opportunity to lead Kinman House. A community where everyone feels they belong and where there is no limit to what we can achieve. We are a House where students feel confident to take opportunities, brave enough to try something new and feel supported enough to keep going when things don’t go to plan. I hope to inspire students to make the most of the opportunities Richard Hale has to offer, celebrate each other’s successes and always strive to give our best — whatever that looks like for each individual. Above all, Kinman is a House that students can be proud to be part of.
