Michèle Crawford’s Memorial Service – Saturday 16th September 

On Saturday 16th September 2023, the WA held a memorial service for Michèle Crawford to celebrate her life and impact on Wychwood School. Michèle died peacefully in Sobell House hospice after an extended, debilitating illness on the evening of Monday 8th May 2023.

Michèle Crawford/Ms Crawford/Craw retired from Wychwood at the end of Trinity term 2009, following 38 years of service. She was appointed in 1971 as a young English teacher by the head, Jinner Snodgrass, who was in turn appointed by the founder of the school Miss Lee. Ms Crawford’s legacy runs right through the school’s history, and still rings out on a daily basis via The Crawford Room, named in her honour which sits at the very heart of Wychwood life today.
