We are delighted to announce the appointment of a new Headteacher
Russell House is delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Craig McCarthy to the position of Headteacher from September 2012, upon the retirement of Mrs Alison Cooke.
Educated at Dollar Academy in Scotland and Reading University, Craig qualified in Law and practised as a solicitor before taking an Open University Diploma in Science and embarking on a career in teaching – initially in Scotland and more recently at The New Beacon in Sevenoaks, where he is Head of Science.
Apart from a passion for teaching, Craig is also a very keen sportsman, having coached cricket, rugby and hockey at previous schools. He has also run very successful clubs for chess and astronomy, as well as leading school skiing trips abroad.
These are exciting times for Russell House. We continue to record impressive academic and sporting successes, vivdly demonstrated in our recent 11+ results.
We are confident that Craig McCarthy will successfully lead Russell House into a new era while preserving the best of our traditions of excellence, including music and drama.
