Mr Kestrel's Book of Remembrance

It was with great sadness that we shared the news that Mr Dan Kestrel, Subject Leader of Religious Education and PSHCE, passed away in July 2026.

We have been liaising closely with Mr Kestrel's family and have offered our support and condolences during this very difficult time.

Mr Kestrel joined Cockburn School in September 2021. He was a passionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated teacher who cared deeply about the young people he worked with. He made a significant contribution to our school community and will be greatly missed by students, staff, and all who knew him.
