Dear Parents
I am using this week’s Newsletter to make a staff announcement. Rob Riches retires at the end of this year after 35 years at Bishops, 16 of them as Deputy. Over the last few months we have advertised and interviewed candidates and this week finalised the appointment.
I am pleased to be able to announce that we have appointed Karen Dallas as the new Deputy Head from 1 January 2020. She will take over from Chris Groom as Head of Academics and he will take over the Extra-Murals portfolio as well as the day-to-day administration of the school.
Karen has been Deputy Headmistress at Rustenburg Girls Junior School since 2006 and Acting Headmistress for the first half of this year. She is also currently Head of Maths at Rustenburg. We are confident that she will bring a wealth of experience and energy to this position.
Karen is married to Ross who is Deputy Head at St Cyprian’s Prep and they have two boys, Cameron (21) and Scott (17).
We look forward to welcoming Karen to the Prep at the start of next year.
Enjoy the weekend.
Kind regards
GREG BROWN
