Sarah Fletcher

Sarah has had the privilege to teach in a number of schools at home and abroad, boarding, day, single-sex, co-educational, state and independent. She has a strong interest in curriculum reform and in encouraging creativity in teaching & learning. She was involved from the outset in the development of the Extended Project Qualification and the Cambridge Pre-U, sitting on the Pre-U Steering Committee from inception to launch. She values the opportunity to work in partnership and believes strongly in the importance of sharing and collaboration as the most important foundation for a more innovative and enlightened future. She was appointed Head of Kingston Grammar School in 2009, Head of the City of London School in 2014 and is currently High Mistress of St Paul’s Girls’ School. She is lucky enough to be a board member of The School and Family Works, a brilliant social enterprise company which supports families in resolving deep seated familial and behavioural issues. In her words, “Education should be about welcoming and cultivating the inner talents and natural creativity in all young people, encouraging a deep, life-long curiosity and joy in learning that enables them to live life to the full and engages them as citizens of the world.” Amidst this busy professional life, Sarah finds time for her passions: the clarinet, art, theatre and fresh air.
