Dear Parents and Carers,

In preparation for commencing my post as Principal of Marden Primary Academy, I have been working with all levels of the leadership team to ensure a smooth transition before 7th June. Part of that work has been to secure crucial staffing appointments for September 2021 to ensure that we can hit the ground running in the next academic year with a stable team.

With Mrs Chown’s forthcoming departure in July, I am delighted to tell you that following a national recruitment search and rigorous selection process, involving senior executives and governors from across Leigh Academies Trust, we have appointed a new Vice Principal to start on 1st September 2021. The successful candidate is Mrs Georgina Rawling.

Mrs Rawling is an experienced Senior Leader, who has extensive experience working within and across several LAT schools. She has already spent substantial time with Marden helping to develop the curriculum and is excited to join the Marden team in September.

Lastly, I would like to use this opportunity to thank you for all of your support and patience considering this year’s various challenges and I look forward to meeting you very soon.

Yours Faithfully,

Mr Niall Dosad
