Hazel Perfect 

Members of the KCSA will be saddened to hear of the death of Hazel Perfect on April 2^nd, 2024.

She taught at KCS between 1961 and 1999 and was more of an institution than a teacher, associated especially with the dogs which closely accompanied her: Benji, Jason and Chad to name but three.

She was a form tutor at Year 4 level, fondly remembered by countless generations of children, including for example several members of her very first class (among them a head teacher and two acclaimed musicians), who continued to meet up with her for an annual dinner until quite recently.

Many alumni will recall weekly trips to Cambridge library, visits to brass rubbing centres and annual skiing trips abroad (which she initiated. and still continue today).  She was a frequent spectator at school sports fixtures and regularly attended chapel, going on a few choir tours latterly. She also ran the junior boarding house for a time.

After retirement in 1999 she continued her service as secretary of the KCSA for over ten years.

In celebration of Hazel’s exceptional contribution to the lives of so many children at the school over several decades, the School has made a donation to the Bursary Fund, which exists to support the payment of school fees for families in times of particular hardship. The Association will contribute an additional £500 to that fund.
