THE deputy head-teacher is to retire after 15 years at a school.

Liam Joughlin is leaving King Solomon High School in January.

Current head-teacher Spencer Lewis, who was himself taught by Mr Joughlin, said Mr Joughlin was an inspiring teacher who touched the lives of many students over the years.

His replacement, Rabbi Jeremy Bruce, will begin in the role in January 2012.
