• Thursday 12 September 2024 First thoughts from our new Head, Sally Moulton I have recently joined SCS as Head and am looking forward to many years’ tenure here. I have a strong track record of success in school leadership and was so drawn to the values that underpin daily life in this school. It is, without a doubt, an outstanding school that provides children with high quality teaching across a broad and balanced curriculum so that our pupils have opportunities to push at plenty of doors and explore their aptitude for what lies before them. We offer a huge variety of opportunities for children and cater for all family needs; whether that is a day place, flexi-boarding or the full boarding experience in our magical ‘home from home’ Old School House boarding accommodation. When I see the gorgeous experiences our pupils have here, I wish I had been a child at SCS when I was at school!
