Warwickians Richard and Veronica Phillips have a long association with the Foundation, not least of all as parents of King’s High Old Girls Katie and Lucy who were pupils in Mrs Anderson’s time. Veronica was a long standing Foundation Governor and Chair of the Warwick Prep School Committee. She had particular interests in Policy and Strategy, Education, Governance, Estates and Procurement, and Bursary and Investment. Former Warwick School master Richard is ‘Mr Music’ for the Warwick area. He was awarded the MBE in 2016 for his services to Music and the Arts, and is Director of the Leamington Music Festival, in addition to being instrumental (no pun intended) in the organisation of music festivals throughout the Midlands.  He also founded the Warwick Words festival in 2002, and is an Honorary Fellow of the Birmingham Conservatoire.

'We are delighted to be made Fellows of the Landor Association as our daughters benefited greatly from their time at both Warwick Prep and King's High.'

Veronica continues 'As Chairman of the Warwick Prep School Committee for nearly fourteen years, I very much enjoyed working with three Heads and seeing positive developments in many fields, including several building projects, but my principal interest was in securing a good education for all the children.'

Richard adds 'As Festival Director I put on a number of concerts in King's High and brought various educational workshops into both schools.'
