Peter joined Mary Hare as Chief Operating Officer and Company Secretary in the summer of 2020, right in the middle of the Covid pandemic. As well as leading the School’s response to Covid, his priority was to lead the construction of our new purpose-built primary school and oversee the sale and subsequent relocation from our old primary site at Mill Hall in September 2022.

"I am passionate about the difference we make to our students’ lives during the time they are at Mary Hare and in the great work and partnership with them in preparing them for their futures beyond Mary Hare".
