School welcomes new head

Following the retirement of Ray Payne after 17 years at Henlow, Caren Earp has taken up the baton of leadership at the Church of England Middle School.

Caren spent nine years as Vice Principal of Samuel Whitbread Academy but in recent years her role has included curriculum development across Years Nine to 13 and the quest to provide seamless learning as students transfer from Year Eight - valuable experience which she brings with her.

Caren spoke of her delight to be taking Henlow forward into the future.

She said: “Our school motto is ‘Aiming for Excellence’ and, as we embark on a new era in education, I will ensure that our unstinting focus is upon each individual child’s learning.”
