Announcement

Dear Parents and Carers

I write to inform you of a temporary change to the leadership of the Academy next academic year; my family will be growing this summer as my husband and I welcome our first two children (we are having twins)!

I will be taking maternity leave for part of the next academic year and I expect to return before the summer break in 2021.

In my absence, I’m pleased to inform you that Gillian Hodgson, Senior Vice Principal, will be Acting Principal until my return. She will be very ably supported by Lyndsay Harris, Vice Principal, and the wider Senior Team.

We have an exceptional team of leaders, teachers and support staff at HAB and I have wholehearted confidence that Gillian, Lyndsay and the team will continue their excellent work to support your daughters to enjoy great success in my absence.

Gillian will be in touch with you next week and will be providing you with regular updates across the following weeks and in the new academic year.

I look forward very much to re-joining you all at HAB at the end of my leave and I wish you and your daughters all the very best for a lovely summer and a smooth start to the new school year.

With all good wishes,

Rebecca Iles-Smith

Principal
