Head of Biology at Manchester Grammar School
Keith Neal taught biology at Manchester grammar school for 23 years, turning it from an elite, esoteric A-level to one of the most popular subjects at GCSE.
As head of department, and ardent environmentalist, he enthused his students through his knowledge and adventurous field trips. He was an internationalist, taking students to India in 1988 and 1993, and on a groundbreaking trip to China in the late 1990s.
He visited African countries 26 times, including Sierra Leone 15 times, between 2002 and 2012, to help deliver courses on the moral foundations of democracy.
