About Ray Honeyford

  • Ray Honeyford (Manchester, 24 February 1934 – 5 February 2012) was a British head teacher. In the early 1980s, when he was headmaster of Drummond Middle School in Bradford, Yorkshire, he wrote an article critical of multiculturalism and its effect on British education: this was published in January 1984, in The Salisbury Review, a conservative magazine edited by the philosopher Roger Scruton.
  • Honeyford was suspended after being accused of racism, then regained his job after an appeal to the High Court.
  • However, faced with a hostile campaign, he was subsequently persuaded to take early retirement.
