Farewells and new beginnings

This week we are bidding a very fond farewell to a much-loved member of the Perrott Hill team.

During his 15 years as Deputy Head, Will Silk (pictured left) has certainly made his mark. Whether through his young farmer activities, his book clubs, his legendary marmalade making, his debating competitions or his inspiring lessons, Mr Silk has positively impacted hundreds of children.

We are sad to see him go, but wish him all the very best as he heads to Cornwall to take up the role of Assistant Head at Truro Prep School.

Taking up the reigns is Andy Finch who has been appointed Deputy Head and Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), following a rigorous selection process.

Mr Finch has been a valued member of Perrott Hill for the past fourteen years holding several senior leadership positions including Head of Boarding, Compliance Co-ordinator and most recently, Director of Studies. Prior to joining us, he was part of the Extended Leadership Team at Felsted Preparatory School.

In his new role, Mr Finch will oversee the holistic personal development and educational experience of all pupils. This will involve close collaboration with the Heads of Section and Heads of Department to ensure the highest standards of pastoral care and academic excellence across the school.
