text: Things had to be done properly at the upmarket Moor Park School, which had pupils from some of England’s wealthiest families.
  Which made it even more memorable for Mr Badham when one pupil decided to strip naked and make his way right through a group of female parents.
  So when one day his clothes became wet, while taking part in a regular light-hearted boating game on the school’s lake, he took them off. All of them.

  Mr Badham said: “It was a summer’s afternoon. The mothers used to pick up their children from the nursery. That was when he decided to walk naked right through the yummy mummies by the side of the lake.”
  There was a time at Moor Park School when a long-running dispute with a neighbouring farmer took a turn for the worse.
  With the boundaries between the school’s land and neighbouring land not as clear as they might have been, things got messy - and very smelly.
  Mr Badham said: “The farmer decided our hockey pitch belonged to him and put chicken manure on the edge of it. He did it a day before prize-giving and he dumped a large amount there.
  With the farmer getting his message across, and with his nostrils full of a very unpleasant aroma, Mr Badham decided the pair should meet to discuss the matter.
  They had an amicable chat, so friendly in fact that the farmer offered the headteacher plenty of his home-made wine.
