Dear Families,

 

I am writing to inform you of some upcoming changes to the leadership structure of the school, which will be in place from the Summer Term (22nd April 2025). As you may know, the majority of London schools are adapting to reflect the changing needs of families within the city. This currently means adapting models, and creating or developing new working relationships with local schools.

 

After Easter, Mr Duffy will become the Executive Headteacher of both St Mary’s Bryanston Square (Westminster) and Christ Church CE Primary (NW1 - Camden). This change has come about due to the retirement of the Headteacher of Christ Church school. The governing bodies of both schools have now agreed to join into a school partnership. Christ Church is a very similar school to St Mary’s; a thriving school serving it’s community, with a dedicated staff team. To find out more about Christ Church, please feel free to browse their school website here: https://www.cchurchnw1.camden.sch.uk/

 

As Executive Headteacher, my time will be shared across the two schools. Mrs. Marius-Beeko, will be your Head of School (day-to-day Headteacher) at St Mary’s and will be ably supported by Mrs. Stepinska and Mrs. Schroer.

 

This change will not affect the day-to-day running of St Mary’s school, though, as stated above, the leadership team structure will change, as follows:

Executive Head Teacher – Mr Duffy

Head of School – Mrs. Marius-Beeko

Assistant Head Teacher – Mrs. Stepinska

Assistant Head Teacher – Mrs. Schroer

 

Parents are invited to join us on Wednesday 26th February for a Meet the Senior Leaders coffee morning. This is an opportunity for you to talk with Senior Leaders and ask any questions you may have. We look forward to this opportunity to continue to grow our school and share our love and wisdom.

 

Kind regards,

 

Lee Duffy & Sarah Bedford

Headteacher & Chair of Governors
