Mrs Anne Charnley

The Governors of St Clare's School on Wednesday last, appointed a new Head Teacher to take over from Mr Purcell who is leaving at the end of the Autumn Term to take up a post as an Advisor for the Local Authority (Lancvashire County Council).

Mrs Anne Charnley is presently Head Teacher at St Mary & St Andrew's Catholic Primary School, Newhouse (Barton, just north of Preston).

Mrs Charnley writes: I have twenty-two happy years working in Catholic Education, from inner-city Liverpool to rural Lancashire. I am passionate about learning and teaching, loving the spontaneity, creativity and inquisitiveness of young learners. I strive to promote engaging and inspirational learning opportunities that encourage independent skills and foster a love of learning.

Mrs Charnley will take up post in January. We wish her well.
