Mr Dale McMorran
Head of School
Senior Leadership Team, Safeguarding Team
Dale joined the College in 2005 as second in English and leader of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. It is here that he first experienced boarding, working two nights a week in Lincoln. After supporting Dr Jones in Fry Hall for five years as his Deputy, Dale became Head of Kett Hall in 2012, a position which gave him, in his own words, “the best job in the world”. In 2016 Dale joined the Senior Team directing the quality assurance processes in the College and in 2018 he became Deputy Headteacher responsible for Boarding and Behaviour. Teaching English remains a highlight of any day, and Dale notes a personal triumph being awarded a National Teaching Award in the summer of 2018. Dale is enthused by his family, films and cinema, his bookshelf, his sporting rackets and his unique golf swing. Two lifelong dreams, to travel in space and to drive the ‘A Team’ van, remain very much alive.
