Dr Preetpal Bachra is Deputy Head (Pupil Development) at Bryanston. Working as part of the senior pastoral team along with Claire Miller, Preetpal is responsible for implementing pastoral initiatives as well as supporting the Housemasters and Housemistresses in their roles.

Prior to working at Bryanston, Preetpal worked in the clothing industry for a wholesale firm with brands such as Levi-Strauss and Juicy. Later, he was a partner franchisee with Dominos and subsequently Starbucks. He previously taught economics, business and English at Bradford Grammar School and whilst at Bryanston, has been Head of Department and Housemaster of Connaught House.

Preetpal enjoyes playing cricket for Cheshire, for Esholt in the Yorkshire Leagues and Bramhall in the Cheshire Leagues. This has given way to the far more rewarding pastime of village cricket wherever he is asked. He remains a nervous Liverpool FC fan which probably began in the glory days, although he cannot remember a time when he didn’t support them. He also has a weakness for charity shops and hoarding books.
