Becoming Adisadel College

Between the years 1929 - 1937 the headmaster of the college was the Reverend Knight. He is most remembered for moving the School from Topp Yard to the site of Adisadel Hill.

The effort put in by the boys was refered to as the 'Adisadel Spirit', gaining the school funding from many countries, including Britain. It was therefore possible, in late 1936, for Sir Arnold Hudson - Governor of the Gold Coast - to officially open the new development and officially name the college Adisadel College.

Knight is recognised as the founder of the and one of his natural gifts was the ability to spot hidden talent. It was during Knight's time as Head that the Adisadel School Ode was written, and Knight inspired a student to write the music - Jack Wilmot.

Alan Knight left Adisadel in 1937. Cosmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury had clearly been impressed by Knight's qualities, because he actively campaigned in the UK for financial support for the college, and later made Kinght Bishop of Georgetown, British Guiana - modernly known as Guyana. Knight later went on to be announced the Anglican Archbishop of the West Indies.

Reverend Robin Hudson was then appointed to replace Knight - an announcement welcomed by many. Having attended one of England's oldest Public Schools, it was thought that he would bring some of Eton to Adisadel.
