Mr Amar Nath Sharma (Narad) was born on 11th July 1917 in Punjab, India and was educated in the same province. He took his BA from Lahore and migrated to Kenya. He joined the Education Department and taught Mathematics at the Duke of Gloucester School for several years.

He was one of the first group of teachers to move to the newly established Eastleigh Secondary School in 1956. He soon moved his way up the ladder and was made a senior teacher. After Mr Sobti and Mr Uppal retired in December 1963, he became Vice Principal with Mr JES Jones the Principal. He took over the Headship after Mr Briggs left until his retirement in December 1973. He spent his retirement in Chandigarh, India and died on 13th February 2002.

Mr Sharma was an excellent teacher of mathematics and taught his pupils with dedication and diligence. He was always aware of which pupils were not making good enough progress and where they made the most frequent mistakes – and helped them or reprimanded them as appropriate. He was always proactive and highly analytical in his marking which helped pupils make excellent progress in Geometry, Algebra and Arithmetic. He had very clear priorities and always encouraged his pupils to prioritise their expenditure by buying and practising maths from past papers rather than paying for entrance to the Royal Show!!
