New heads for local schools

There are a lot of changes taking place at the top of local schools at the moment, with many Lewisham secondary and primary schools searching for new head-teachers.

Prendergast Vale have been quick to find a new Head, with Duncan Kamya recently recruited while local Catholic primary St Mary Magdalene has announced this week that its Deputy Head Sally Saunders will step up when the current Head retires this summer.

Given how crucial strong leadership is for the success of a school, these swift appointments are good news.
