Remembering Colin Prince

16 Oct 2026
Written by Bronagh Fentum
In Memory

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Colin Prince, former Deputy Head and valued member of the Tiffin School community.

Colin devoted many years of service to Tiffin, serving as Deputy Head and stepping forward to lead the school as Headmaster during the interregnum between AJV Roberts and Tony Dempsey. Those who worked alongside him remember Colin not only as a dedicated leader and respected colleague, but as a warm, kind friend whose presence left a lasting impact on our school community.

Colin was predeceased by his wife, Mary. Our heartfelt thoughts and condolences go out to his children, Hamish, himself a former Tiffin pupil and Anna, along with his extended family and loved ones during this time.

For those wishing to pay their respects, Colin’s funeral will take place on

Wednesday, 4th November at 12:30 pm at Putney Vale Crematorium.
