Welcome to South Lee School

It is my great pleasure to introduce myself as the new Head of South Lee from September 2019. I am absolutely thrilled and excited to be offered the chance to lead such a happy, vibrant and well regarded Prep School. I am passionate about allowing children to have a childhood whilst providing a rich, full challenging curriculum and teaching the children skills that will last for life.

I know South Lee is a school that cares deeply about the children and has family at the core, and that is what attracted me to the position. I am a firm believer that if you create an environment where children feel happy and secure, they will thrive.

In a fast paced world, we need our children to be adaptable and flexible, to be able to problem solve and work collaboratively, to be able to think critically and most of all to be resilient. Ultimately, we want our children to grow up to be kind and compassionate human beings.
