We are delighted to announce that we will be welcoming Jemima Edney as Head of College in September 2025. Jemima will be working alongside Eve Jardine-Young, who has been appointed as Executive Principal of Cheltenham Ladies’ College.
"As a former pupil, College has shaped so much of the person that I have become, and it is a great honour to now contribute to the same spirit of learning and opportunity that inspired me on my own professional path.
“It is impossible not to be impressed by the extraordinary dedication, talent and care that define the College community - something I have witnessed first-hand through my role on Council. It is an immense privilege to be stepping into this role at such a pivotal moment in College’s strategic development."

Alongside spending time with parents and pupils, in her expanded role as Executive Principal, Eve will be focused on our dynamic growth path, external relations, and partnerships, ensuring that College continues to succeed and thrive.
“I am so pleased to be working with Jemima next year, as she takes up her new role as Head of College. I greatly admire her integrity, sense of perspective and wisdom, and I am looking forward to seeing all that she brings to our College community.
“Together, we will continue to drive forward our legacy as one of the leading schools for young women, for both current and future generations.”
