Appointment of New Headteacher for September 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am delighted to inform you that the Trustees have appointed Mrs Emma Ellin as Headteacher from September. Her understanding of the school, passion for Christian education and heart for the pupils shone through her interview with the School Council, presentation and full interview to the Trustee Panel. It was a swift, unanimous decision to offer her this special role.

Mrs Ellin has extensive experience in leadership, both in education and church ministry. She has been involved in teaching and education for many years; a qualified teacher holding senior leadership positions including Head of Mathematics. Mrs Ellin has taught Further Mathematics to Oxbridge candidates and has a passion for sport (e.g. managing a National Schools’ Championship Hockey team). She has also been part of a residential pastoral care team in a boarding school, the Chaplaincy team and mentored new staff. She is an active member of All Saints Church, Worcester, where her husband is an Associate Vicar.

One of the exciting developments is that she has already begun to get to know the school through teaching Year 11 Mathematics and having her son in our Nursery. She is getting to know the staff and children and already has ideas to develop and improve the school in many areas.

On a personal note, I am delighted that Mrs Ellin and I will have time for a productive and orderly handover and I fully endorse the decision of the Trustees to appoint Mrs Ellin. In all my dealings with her, whether observing her teaching, chatting about the school or sharing vision, I have been very impressed. I truly believe exciting times are ahead.

Yours faithfully,

A Parsonage Headteacher
