Sir William Henry Hadow was born on the 27th December 1859 at Ebrington, Gloucester, England and died in June 1937 at Westminster, London, England. He was an innovator in education in Great Britain and a musicologist.

He studied at Oxford University where he taught and became Dean (1889). He was Vice-Chancellor of Sheffield University (1919–30), and as chairman of several committees published a series of reports on education, notably The Education of the Adolescent (1926) which called for the re-organization of elementary education, the abandonment of all-age schools, and the creation of secondary modern schools. This became known as the Hadow Report. He was a leading influence in English education at all levels in the 1920s and 1930s.
