Kindness, positivity determination and integrity are values she holds close to her heart and will be the foundations on which she models the shape of Arkell House. The vision is to create a warm and vibrant space for our pupils to flourish, not only academically but to also support independent interests too, enabling each of them to reach their full potential.

Her two daughters attend the Prep school and have both been pupils at Gresham’s since they were three years old.
