- "Because she could remember what the school had been like when the Demon Headmaster was there. The lank, bare walls. The quite, hypnotized children moving around like robots. The cruel, bossy prefects. And the felling of terror everywhere"
- ―The Prime Minister's Brain
The Headmaster and his prefects.
During the headmasters term as headmaster of the school, the school was a frightening place where everything had to be perfect. He kept very strict rules that banned waste, noise and anything that wasn't to do with work and even managed to turn break time from fun and games to everyone standing in circles reciting and testing each other on facts they had be taught. The Headmaster elevated the prefects way above there normal power and position and made them vertically the second in command of the school and the enforcers of the schools rules.
One of the headmaster's approaches to teaching was to lecture to the hypnotized students in order for them to learn. Many readers of the books have pointed out that this method of "learning" might not be all that effective as it is just getting the pupils to repeat information and so does not "sink in ".
Under Mr Meredith
Mr Meredith replaced the Headmaster after SPLAT foiled his plans to win and hypnotize everyone through appearing on the Eddy Hair Show (The Demon Headmaster )
- "That had all changed since Mr. Meredith because Headmaster. Now it was untidy, cheerful, noisy school, just like all the others Dinah had been to"
- ―The Prime Minister's Brain
Not much is seen of the school during Mr Meredith other than at the start of Prime Minster's Brain where we see SPLAT coming into the school to attend the computer club which is where Dinah beats Octopus Dare and is entered into the computer brain of the year contest.
