Records of the Deputy Director

Includes the correspondence, admin and working files of Harry Barnes (Deputy Director 1946/64) and James Cosgrove (Deputy Director 1992/93)

The first Deputy Director was appointed in 1945 to relieve the Director of some of his duties. At this time the office was combined with that of Registrar and the two roles did not become separate until 1975. The Deputy Director is responsible for overseeing the School's academic courses, programmes and quality assurance procedures. The holder chairs the Academic Standards and Research Committees and deputises for the Director in his/ her absence. This office is part of the School's Directorate, the principal executive body of the School, along with the offices of Director and Director of Finance and Resources and Company Secretary.

The records are awaiting arrangement.

Most records which are over 30 years old are available for public consultation. Records which are less than 30 years old can be accessed with the permission of the head of the relevant department of the school.
