Sir Christopher Ball
Sir Christopher was educated at St George’s school, by the British Army, and at the University of Oxford. These provide the secrets of success: independence, the learning habit – and family. The heart of his life has been his marriage to Wendy, and their family of six children. He has been a university teacher, Warden of Keble College, Chancellor of the University of Derby; consultant and advisor on human learning and educational provision, fundraiser for numerous charities, marathon runner, and poet. His current concerns are the challenge of climate change and global warming, learning to adopt the lifestyle that prevents or delays the onset of cancer, dementia, strokes and heart problems, and the need for systematic and rigorous parental education and training throughout the world. In his ninth decade he is still intrigued by the question: what next? (Any suggestions and ideas welcome!) |
