Chair of Governors Geri Silverstone commented, 'I am delighted that Claire has accepted the role of Principal to become our next leader. She was appointed after a competitive process. I am confident that she is the best person to take us forward on our journey to become one of the best schools in the country. I know that with her creative and insightful leadership we can turn that aspiration into reality'.
