The obituary notice of Eric (Retired Headteacher) BARKER

Such sad news. Mr Barker was an amazing teacher and head teacher who will have positively impacted on so many students, as he did me. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Very sorry to hear of Mr Barkers passing, remember him from Scunthorpe Grammar School when I was a Pupil and he was a young teacher.
Lovely man. RIP Mr Barker xx

Such sad news, Eric was a highly respected and supportive colleague who taught me much about leadership. I remember him with fondness and gratitude and still smile at his sense of humour and his wise words.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr Barker’s passing. I was not privileged to have experienced him as Headteacher but he was my Form teacher and Geography teacher and he was quite simply one of the very best. His teaching was second to none and his skills in wrangling a group of misfits were top class . He was one of the most influential figures in my teenage life. God bless his family who will miss him v much.

Sam, Toni and families - So very sorry to hear about your dad, grandad. Lots of love to you all and a little donation in tribute to all those who have faced cancer xx. Michelle

What can I say a absolute treasure of a man who is now reunited with an Amazing woman so they can be together for eternity and both sadly missed I had the greatest pleasure knowing them both and I cannot express the sadness I feel at the loss of them. Eric you were a wonderful man and hope you enjoy what you will now have with your Judy 💕

Sincere condolences to the family. A great teacher at High Ridge. Rest in peace sir 🙏

We are very saddened to hear of the passing of Eric. He was a valued colleague of Dad’s at High Ridge School.
We send all our love and prayers to you all and are thinking of you at this sad time.
