After 28 years of outstanding service to Braeside School, the last 18 of which were as our Headmistress, Mrs Clare Naismith is to retire at the end of this school year. During her years at the helm she has steered the School through very successful school inspections, and her calm assurance and support has inspired the teaching staff and pupils to achieve excellent results in public examinations. It is a tribute to her leadership qualities that Braeside has been able to move so smoothly into the twenty-first century.

We are delighted that Mrs Naismith has accepted an invitation to remain on the Board of Directors of Braeside School Limited, so will still maintain an important role in the Governance of the School and a close interest in the progress and achievements of all the girls.

At the same time, it is with great pleasure that the Directors of Braeside School Limited wish to announce the appointment of Mrs Gillian Haddon as the new Headmistress from September 2008.

Mrs Haddon, who has been at Braeside for five years and is currently a Deputy Head, will bring her outstanding leadership and organisational skills, as well as her positive and enthusiastic personality, to her new role. We are sure that Mrs Haddon will be extremely successful in guiding the School into the next phase of its development.
