MEET OUR NEW TRUSTEES

KAREN PICKLES DIRECTOR AND DSL

BERKELEY GUARDIANS LTD

I have been a Senior Housemistress at Clifton College, a Faculty and Department Head in a variety of HMC and GSA schools and have always worked closely with the international community. As a Housemistress, I have kept in touch with many of my overseas pupils and even attended some weddings! More recently, as a director of a guardianship company, I have worked closely with schools to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those pupils in our care. This is at the heart of all we in the education and guardianship community do and AEGIS supports this wholeheartedly.

I have seen how AEGIS work to support the pupils who come to our schools to live and work and the high standards they aspire all their guardianships to uphold. I believe this is vital to keep pupils safe, well protected and supported and I am absolutely delighted and feel very privileged to be given this opportunity to continue to support the international community as it is an area of education that I hold very dear to my heart.
