Mr Watson became Headmaster of Milton Abbey School in September 2023 and was previously Senior Deputy Head, Head of Learning Development, and Head of History at Milton Abbey.

He graduated with a First Class master's degree in Ancient History and Classical Archaeology from the University of Edinburgh, before qualifying as a Chartered Accountant with Deloitte, and he later gained a PGCE from the University of Buckingham.

He moved into education after a successful 13-year career in accountancy, stockbroking and finance, mainly in Asia and the Middle East. This experience, and his previous roles here at Milton Abbey and as Second Master at Bruern Abbey, mean he is uniquely suited for the role of Headmaster.

Mr Watson enjoys sharing his expertise and his many enthusiasms with our students and has started numerous clubs such as the History Society, Commerce Society and even the Piscatorial Society (fishing club!), as well as coaching rugby, hockey and cricket.
