Meet the team Front Cover Image
We were delighted to welcome back Catherine Powell (Young DH 1986) on Monday 4 December 2017 for the Junior Medley Lecture in the Performing Arts Centre. Catherine has spent over a decade in a variety of senior leadership roles throughout the world for Disney, including in Australia and Europe. Catherine gave a captivating talk to our Lower School girls, parents and alumnae, on her very personal experience of the magic of Disney and her journey to the fairy-tale castle in Paris. Our sincere thanks to Catherine for bringing a sprinkle of Disney magic to Downe House. A full story of Catherine’s talk will be featured in the Lent Term edition of Cloisters.
Meet the team in the Foundation Office
Sallie Taylor Director of External Relations The newest member of the team, Sallie Taylor, joined the Foundation Office in October as Director of External Relations. This new role encompasses Communications and Marketing as well as Admissions, and will see Sallie working with pupils, alumnae, staff and parents across the whole School community. Sallie and her family have moved back to the UK, after 12 very happy years living in Holland, where she worked at The British School in The Netherlands. Despite being new to the role, Sallie already has an affinity with Downe House as two of her nieces were at the School in the late 80’s and early 90’s – Liney Cumberlege (Abbott DH 1990) and Lizzie Berens (Abbott DH 1996). As Sallie says: “These are exciting times at Downe House – with the Centre for Learning growing daily, the introduction of a new Digital Learning strategy and big plans for our School website and digital media channels, I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in!
