Tyrone Howe
Shiplake College
United Kingdom
Former Ireland international rugby player Tyrone Howe joined Shiplake College as Headmaster in September 2019. He started his teaching career at Marlborough College but left to play professional rugby for Ulster, going on to represent Ireland, also touring with the British and Irish Lions and the Barbarians.
Mr Howe spent five years in industry before returning to education - teaching languages, politics and business, coaching rugby and running a boarding house at Uppingham School in Rutland.
Mr Howe is married to Alex, a teacher herself, and they have twins, Hugo and Georgia, and a golden retriever ‘Head Dog’ Simba. He enjoys reading, music and sport and is particularly interested in sports psychology. Since joining Shiplake his exercise of choice has become ‘an ergo’, although is yet to take to the water to attempt to replicate this in a boat, despite repeated invitations from the Director of Rowing.
Mr Howe takes his role as Headmaster seriously, but doesn’t take himself too seriously, which may explain why he can be found on YouTube singing a Sea Shanty, channelling Elton John at Christmas, or taking on a starring role as James Bond or Top Gun’s Maverick.
