Peter Jeffreys
Following attendance at Welshpool Grammar School and the University College of Wales Aberystwyth, where he read History, Peter Jeffreys trained as a teacher at the London University Institute of Education and subsequently obtained teaching posts in Gillingham, Kent and Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. He then became a local authority education officer with Hertfordshire County council before moving to a post with the then Cardiff County Borough Council as an assistant education officer with responsibility for primary education and special services. While in Cardiff he obtained the degree of M. Ed after part-time study at the university. A spell at the Open University, where he was senior assistant secretary in the Faculty of Educational Studies, was followed by appointment as senior assistant education officer with Buckinghamshire County Council where he managed the department of general services.
Before retirement he spent twenty one years as secretary and registrar at what was, until 1992, the Hatfield Polytechnic and subsequently the University of Hertfordshire. An active member of the Company of Ten, a well-known and highly-regarded amateur dramatic society in St Albans, he has taken part, as an actor and singer, in a large number of productions.
