Head's extended contract

    THE governors of Dover Grammar School for Boys have extended their contract with Neil Slater, the school's head teacher, until at least August 1993.
    The move follows close on the heels of the appointment last week of Dr Roger Thurling as head teacher of Dover Grammar School for Girls. He takes up his new post in September.
    Mr Slater, who joined the boys' school in January 1970, was appointed deputy head in September 1979 and became acting head two years ago following the retirement of Reg Colman.
    The governors of the two schools have agreed to an amalgamation of the schools on a green field site at Whitfield. But that proposal depends very much on the make-up of the future government, following yesterday's general election.
