“My aim with Ellendel is to enrich the lives of all the young people who are part of our school. We constantly adapt our lessons to meet their needs in this ever changing world. I want our students to leave Ellendel equipped with the skills they need to succeed in life in whichever career path they choose. While it is wonderful to see our students succeed in the different examinations and competitions they take part in, I think the real success is the soft skills and confidence they develop from being part of our unique school. I am passionate about Education and the benefits of speech and drama for young people. I believe in giving students the best start in life.”
