Peter Cornall (b 1930) trained as a teacher at the University of Oxford, qualifying in 1955, and went on to teach in comprehensive secondary schools in Oxfordshire (Chipping Norton), 1955-1959 and London (Crown Woods School, Eltham, 1959-1964). After three years as an education officer in Wiltshire (1964-1967) he became headteacher of comprehensive schools in Nottinghamshire (West Bridgford Grammar School, 1967-1972 ) and the Isle of Wight (Carisbrooke High School, 1972-1981). As County Chief Inspector of Schools in Cornwall (1981-1991) he created a full advisory service and promoted curriculum development and school review. He retired in 1991. Throughout his career Cornall retained an unswerving commitment to comprehensive secondary education. During 1992-1993 Cornall was Honorary Research Fellow of the University of Leicester, researching into 'value-added' and he remained a school governor and trustee of the Centre for the Study of Comprehensive Schools for several years.

Deposited by Peter Cornall in 2000 and 2001.
