Mr Asa Willoughby Mr Willoughby joined the Modern Foreign Languages Department in September 2019 and was immediately an influential presence throughout the school. He had an enormous impact on a wide range of staff and students, sharing his passion for a vast array of languages and their fundamental role in cultural appreciation. He also contributed enormously to the co-curricular life of the College through offering many enrichment opportunities, including Urdu and Indian dance. He has been an invaluable member of the MFL department, and we wish him well for his future working in Higher Education.
