Schools are all about communities. To be able to contribute to creating a space where young people want to be, to learn and be their best selves was something I wanted to be a part of. The love of my subject, Geography, was borne out of the passion my A-Level teacher had for the subject, and I wanted to share the joy of learning – and being truly inspired and in awe of our world - with others.

Well, being appointed as a Head is a very special moment and I am incredibly proud to have led, and be leading, a prestigious girls’ school. I am also incredibly proud that I see girls thriving in my school where they are free to be themselves and encouraged to be bold, confident leaders. The skills they gain here carry them forward in life and we see this in our amazing and diverse alumnae who work across many different industries and in varied roles – it is brilliant when you see what they all achieve.

A successful school is a happy school. A successful school is seeing smiles and positive interactions as you walk along the corridor or you hear conversation and laughter in the dining hall. It is also celebrating achievement and effort, seeing students grow, colleagues develop, and parents engaged. School is constantly evolving and we embrace this. Success is about listening to the voices of those within the school community and working together. 

Wellbeing and the development of positive relationships are two themes central to the school's ethos. They’re at the heart of everything at Royal High Bath and the school prides itself on having a kind, positive and inclusive community where students feel fully supported to progress both academically and socially.

A successful school is where girls flourish through academic rigour, exploration, collaboration and risk-taking.

I want every girl to be intellectually and socially confident, workplace and life-ready with a global outlook and concern for others. Underpinning their ambition, hope, optimism and ‘can do’ attitude is kindness and empathy. As we know, people may forget what you say but they never forget how you make them feel.
