I've heard from Marian Wood that "John Flood died very suddenly at his home on 11th April. Private funeral in Uley 30th April."
If receive any more details, I can put them here.
John Flood was one of my teachers at the school. He had a wide range of interests that he was keen to share with the boys, and he used to take some of us sailing at Frampton on Sundays, which remains a happy memory. He must have been in his late 30s then; in his early 90s by now.

I feel abashed at speaking ill of the dead but in my time (71-75) he was an absolutely brutal man who had no control whatever of his vicious temper. No doubt a result of past trauma but really not a way to deal with children. His wife wasn't much better.
Stouts Hill was in general a much more humane school than most in those long past days.
