RSAcademics is delighted to have led the search leading to the recent appointment of Judith Fremont-Barnes, currently Head of Milton Abbey School. Judith will succeed Simon Larter-Evans as Head of St Paul’s Cathedral School in September 2023, when Simon moves to become Principal of Tring Park School for Performing Arts, an appointment we were also pleased to assist with.
The Dean, Very Revd Andrew Tremlett, and Vice-Chair, Robert-Jan Temmink KC, along with Chapter and the School’s governing body, were delighted with the field produced by Diana Watkins (Senior Advisor) and Louisa Barham (Search Consultant) and were unanimous in their support of Judith’s appointment.
Judith read English Language and Literature at Christ Church, Oxford and her career spans teaching and leadership posts at James Allen’s Girls’ School, Radley College, More House School, time in Japan lecturing at Kobe Kaisei College for Women and Kobe University. Her first Headship was at Duke of Kent School. With an MA in Education, Judith is an active supporter of the visual and performing arts and is a patron of the National Theatre and Cheltenham Festivals, as well as being a member of a number of literary and artistic societies. She also has a special interest in the impact of wellbeing in education.
We are confident that Judith will have a tremendous impact on St Paul’s Cathedral School over the coming years.
