The former headmaster of Cranbrook, Nicholas Sampson, has settled a legal dispute with the school’s governing council for an undisclosed sum following his dramatic resignation from the prestigious all-boys institution in March.
Those allegations came days after the airing of an episode on the ABC’s investigative flagship that raised questions about the treatment of female staff at Cranbrook, and included claims of bullying and misogyny at the school. “The council wishes to clarify that Mr Sampson did report the matter to a differently constituted council in 2015 and acknowledges that its statement may have caused confusion,” the council’s statement said.Sampson, who had run the prestigious school since 2012, engaged high-profile lawyer Rebekah Giles and barristers Arthur Moses SC and Sue Chrysanthou SC to represent him.
“I appreciate the council’s goodwill in publicly clarifying its previous statement and acknowledging the confusion caused by those words. There now cannot be any doubt that I reported the matter to the council in 2015 and that the allegations were externally investigated by an independent body, NSW Police and notified to the Office of Children’s Guardian,” he said.
