From September, Miss Hannah Fox, currently Academic and Universities Director on the Senior Leadership Team at Harrow School, will join as Head of St George’s, bringing a wealth of experience and a strong vision for the school’s next chapter.Liz Hewer, Head, commented: “I am very proud of this accomplished, compassionate, diverse and impressive group of Upper Sixth leavers who have continued to give so much to all aspects of life at St George's alongside their A Level studies. They should feel very proud of their achievements and the well-balanced young women they have become. I wish them every success and look forward to following their journeys through university and beyond. As I too take my leave of St George’s after 9 years as Head of such a wonderful school, I wish Miss Fox all the very best and have every confidence the School will continue to thrive under her leadership.”
