Vote of Thanks to Sarah Fletcher

RESOLVED, that the Governors would like to express their deep appreciation and thanks to Sarah Fletcher, Head of the City of London School since April 2014, for her record of achievement. She has, over that short time, transformed the School. In particular the Governors would like to record the raising of academic standards (including the largest number of offers from Oxbridge in January 2017 in the history of the School), the very necessary, timely and vast improvement to the facilities, procedures and policies of the School which were confirmed in the recent Independent Schools Inspectorate report and the overall climate of change which she has brought about. She leaves with the very best wishes of the Board of Governors.
