From Term 1 this academic year there will be a new leadership structure in place in the Junior School, with the creation of Deputy and Assistant Heads of School, both reporting to Junior Head, David Ingram. Clair Wilcox, former Head of Y6 and a Tanglin teacher for ten years, takes on the role of Deputy Head and will be focusing on curriculum development. Her knowledge and understanding of the school stand her in good stead and she intends to work more
closely with the Senior School in order to better prepare Junior students for the transition to Senior School. Rachael Cregg has been at Tanglin for nine years and for the past four years has been Head of Y5 and Head of PSHCE. In her new role as Assistant Head, she will assist in the ‘day to day’ operational running of the Junior School, with a strong focus on pastoral care. One of the aims within the Junior School is to encourage students to take ownership of certain initiatives
and to take responsibility for their actions, for example selecting a charity to support and deciding how to raise funds. We believe this structure with each of the three heads focused on a clearly defined area - will provide tangible benefits to both children and parents. Ultimately, it is all about ensuring that students are happy, safe and achieving to the best of their ability.
