St Swithun’s appoints new pre-prep leader

St Swithun’s Prep school in Winchester is delighted to announce the appointment of a new leader for its pre-prep provision, managing the early years and key stage 1 departments. Cari Hookes-Gosney who held similar posts at schools in Wiltshire, Kent and Surrey, brings a wealth of experience and practice to her leadership.

Cari began her career as a student of the Royal Ballet School in London, but was inspired by the educational journey of her own six children to retrain as a teacher with London Metropolitan University. Taking all the discipline and determination learnt from her ballet career she found her passion in educational leadership.

She said ‘Every child should have someone who believes in their ability and helps them perform at their best. At St Swithun’s the energy and commitment to deliver an exceptional educational experience to each individual pupil is evident. I am delighted to be joining the school and heading up the pre-prep team to ensure that St Swithun’s remains at the forefront of education.
