From the Weald of Kent Grammar School
Being the Headteacher of Weald of Kent Grammar School makes me feel incredibly proud. I personally profited from the chances that a top-notch Weald education affords as a former Weald girl. I realise that what sets our children different from other students is not simply the help they receive to attain exceptional academic outcomes, but also their resiliency, character, and awareness of who they are and what they stand for. For the sake of our existing and upcoming students, I am dedicated to maintaining and advancing this cherished legacy. I firmly believe that if we are given the tools to find the path to our goals, everyone of us at Weald can accomplish wonderful things. This is where the connections between the family, the school, and the larger community are important. You are cordially invited to visit us, meet our incredible faculty and staff, and get a true sense of why I think Weald is such a special and outstanding school.
