New Head of School Team

For 2019 – 2020 academic year the new Head of School is Mia Hard af Segerstad Smith (U6GLA) and the two new Deputy Heads of School are Georgia Spender (U6GLA) and Max Williams (U6LES).

Head of Sixth Form, Mr Josh Carter, has highlighted the importance of the Head of School team: “The Head of School Team play a vital role both within the Sixth Form and as part of the wider school community. They are central to student voice within the school and manage School Council meetings and meet regularly with the Headmaster and Head of Sixth Form. They support the assembly system and are key representatives for the school on public occasions.”

The new Head of School Team have said: “As the Head of School Team, we are most excited about the fact we can represent the voices of our peers, through the school council which we run, and also weekly meetings with Mr. Hartley and Mr. Carter where we discuss the overall running of the school and get a great amount of input into any future developments. Every fortnight we present an assembly to the whole school, whereby we can prioritise what we believe is important and share that with our peers. I think that’s one of the best things about being Head of School, having so much input into the future of the school.

At the moment we are focusing on working closely with different teachers to improve the sustainability of the school, starting by plastic usage reduction in the Sixth Form. In terms of mental well-being we really want to help everyone else to have a strong integrated support system so that people know who to go to if they ever need help, so the new MFA scheme will be greatly beneficial. To extend into the community, we are organising a Head of School event with the Heads of School in different sixth forms around Chester so as to get involved with others outside of Kings and share ideas.”
