When the Questions are Small but the Answers are Big

Sedbergh School’s new Headmaster, Robin Pyper, has officially passed his first (and arguably most important!) test: being interviewed by a Prep School pupil.

In a charming video, Robin takes on a role far removed from assemblies and strategy meetings, answering thoughtful (and occasionally disarming) questions from one of Sedbergh’s youngest journalists. The result is an interview that is equal parts insightful and delightful, reminding us all that the toughest questions do not always come from governing bodies.

The interview offers a refreshing glimpse of Sedbergh life through young eyes—and suggests that the School’s future is in very safe hands, especially if the Prep pupils are already holding the Headmaster to account.

Proof, if it were ever needed, that at Sedbergh, every voice matters—no matter how young the interviewer!
