Meet the Head of School
Chard Prep School is an amazing place. Something about the history, the small class sizes and relationships between staff and families gets into your whole being. I want that to thrive under my leadership. I want children to be excited and happy about coming to school each day. I want to help create a lifelong love of learning and give them the best possible chance of success in whatever area they choose.
My educational philosophy is led by a desire for all children to fulfil their potential. I fully believe that schools should be a place of wonder, excitement and curiosity and provide experiences and teaching that supports children in creating their own futures based on personal aspirations. Education should develop the ‘whole’ child. Alongside knowledge, teaching should support children to learn about morality and help them to develop their own personality. Effective education enables children to discover and develop their own values, even when sometimes conflicting with traditional ones. Pupils need hands-on experiences and opportunities to think critically, make connections, find deeper meanings and master concepts.
