Assistant Masters: Nigel Rickard
“To help support the housemasters, in my early years, I appointed an experienced Merchiston practitioner as a “guide on the side”, seventh non-residential housemaster, Mr Nigel Rickard. Anne and Nigel Rickard lived on the campus. Nigel Rickard in his earlier years had been a housemaster at Merchiston and when I arrived, he was head of personal, social and health education (PSHE). He was my first child protection co-ordinator. This position was to create further ballast and support for the housemasters.”—Andrew Hunter, SCAI Witness Statement (17 November 2020)
