Sir Stirling Moss on Haileybury School's 'drugs problem Haileybury College, the Hertfordshire public school, has always been proud to list Sir Stirling Moss, the Formula 1 racing driver, among it distinguished roster of former students. He has, however, managed to put some distance between himself and Joe Davies, the school's Master, by highlighting what is scarcely one of Haileybury's strongest selling points. "I know about the pressures on young people today," Sir Stirling told Mandrake at the Motor Sport Hall of Fame event at Covent Garden when I raised the sorry affair of Justin Bieber's run in with traffic cops of Miami Beach. I sent my son, too, to Haileybury, and now they offer dope, you know, drugs, all the time. Not the students, but people outside. They try to sell them this stuff that makes them high and it's a great shame. You see, none of those things existed in my day. I retired 40 or 50 years ago and those things weren't there. It's a different world. Interestingly, a spokesman for the school, which also educated Nick Herbert, the former police and criminal justice minister, does not dispute Sir Stirling's assertion. She says simply: "Like any leading public school, we take all matters relating to drug use extremely seriously, and any pupils who violate our strict, no-tolerance policy face temporary or permanent exclusion."
