Mike Headley's Educational Bursary & Scholarship Fund

Event dates: Tuesday 9th November 2021 – Wednesday 9th November 2022

Mike was an incredibly positive person who was passionate about education and young people. He delighted in their successes and was often seen applauding with great gusto at the many performances and events that the school has done. Mike had a relentless drive for the wellbeing and care of the pupils at our school. He strongly supported our wellbeing initiatives and believed that Scarisbrick Hall School will be a leading light globally.

Mike was someone who was known personally by all the staff at Scarisbrick Hall School. Regardless of their role or pay grade, he had a way of making everyone feel valued through the time and conversations that he had with them. Mike was hands-on in his approach to the school and site, and you would often see him with his ‘sleeves rolled up’ in the middle of a building project or site development. He embodied the values that our school is built upon, and his legacy will most certainly live on.

As a Director, he brought a depth of wisdom in business, health care, legal and financial management that was highly valued. Above and beyond this, Mike had a heart that overflowed with care and love as well as an infectious spirit of hope, light and energy. Perhaps most importantly he was a loving husband, dedicated father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

The Board of Directors and Mr Shaw (Headmaster) remain focused and driven to see Scarisbrick Hall School continue to go from strength to strength. We have been, and continue to be, inspired by Mike and will use this inspiration to drive the school onto new heights and to honour his life and legacy.

These funds will support gifted and talented children and families in challenging circumstances to attend Scarisbrick Hall School.
