Miss Laura Martin has been appointed as the founding Headteacher of St Anthony’s School for Girls. It was recently announced that Ivy House, North End Road, would become the home of this new school, which opens in September 2016.
Miss Martin has been appointed following a thorough recruitment process, carried out in conjunction with the Diocese of Westminster. She will be taking up her new position in April 2016.
Miss Martin joins the new school from her current role as Assistant Headteacher at Holy Family Catholic Primary School in West Acton, where she has been an integral part of the team that led Holy Family to achieve the grade ‘Outstanding’ in its first Ofsted inspection. A graduate of the University of Reading, she has a particular interest in the teaching of mathematics.
Miss Martin is a committed Catholic and her interests include travel, art and design, health and fitness and reading with Bill Bryson and F. Scott Fitzgerald among her favourite authors.
Miss Laura Martin comments: ‘I am delighted to be appointed as Headteacher of St Anthony’s School for Girls. It is an exciting opportunity and I am looking forward to welcoming the first intake of girls to their new school.’
The new school has organised various open days for parents, who may be interested in the new school, on 5 and 12 March, where there will also be the opportunity to meet Miss Martin. For further information or to register for a place on these open days, parents can contact St Anthony's School for Boys on 020 7431 1066.
