David was particularly pleased that the restoration plans feature a strong education and training element and that the pottery would again be a centre of ideas and inspiration for future generations of potters and visitors alike.
David was sent as a boarder to a progressive school in Dorset which was chosen for its wide curriculum, particularly in the arts, natural sciences and philosophy.
The Leach Pottery was by this time on a firm financial footing and with the arrival of Janet Leach, Bernard's third wife, who showed a willingness and capability to take over the managerial function with the assistance of Bill Marshall, David was free to leave and start his own pottery.
David was sent as a boarder to Dauntsey's school, Wiltshire, chosen for the breadth of its curriculum, particularly in the arts and natural sciences, and a commitment to a philosophy in which the fostering of individual talents was tempered by the imperative of social responsibility.
