“It is an honour to serve at Somerville House. I look forward to walking with the girls, and the young boys in Pre-Prep, for part of their journey at the school. I also look forward to working in partnership with parents, old girls, and all members of the school community”, said Dr Goodwin.
Dr Goodwin’s strong commitment to education, to academic excellence, and to Christian leadership and pastoral care aligns closely with the mission of Somerville House.
We are delighted to appoint an educator of such high calibre and demonstrated achievement to lead Somerville House until such time as a new Principal is recruited. We ask you to join us in warmly welcoming Dr Goodwin back into the Somerville House community.
