I honestly believe I have the best job in the world! Working every day with our girls and helping them to discover more about the world and about themselves is an absolute privilege. I like to follow each girls' journey and to get to know her as a learner so that I can work with the staff to ensure she gets the best possible education for her particular needs. I am fortunate to have a team of dedicated professionals working with me to achieve the School's mission, and a School Council which offers clear guidance and support. If you would like to discuss any aspect of the School further, please feel free to make an appointment to speak with me in person.
