Stephen Crump

Position: Headmaster

School: Hethersett Old Hall School

Qualifications: BA(Hons); MA; PGCE; Diploma in School Marketing

Experience: I spent several years in industry before entering teaching. My fist school was a large comprehensive in Suffolk; my subsequent career, mainly in the independent sector, has taken me around the country, bringing me back to East Anglia as a Head.

Summary

As a father of four children myself, I know the crucial importance of good schools. My experience in six girls’ independent schools to date leaves me in no doubt of their benefits to girls and young women, who thrive in a nurturing environment that gives them the best opportunities to develop their potential.
