The consultant headteacher drafted in to help manage JFS has written to ease parental concerns over the unexplained absence of head teacher Jonathan Miller.
Debby Lipkin assured parents at the start of the new term today of the “profound and personal commitment” to the school of its current leadership team.
Parents were informed during the holidays that Mr Miller would be taking leave of absence and that Mrs Lipkin and acting head Simon Appleman would take charge.
Mrs Lipkin, once a JFS pupil herself, joined the school as an external consultant in the middle of last term to help implement improvements.
