Dear parents and carers,

As Mr Bostock has now taken some time to spend at home with his family, I am delighted to introduce myself as Executive Headteacher working across De Havilland and Roselands Primary Schools. I am a mother of two, and have worked in Education for approx 30 years. I have worked in a variety of schools from a very small Hertfordshire school with only three classes to a four form entry school in North London.  Early on in my career I taught at Herts Regional College as a Spanish Teacher and ran my own Spanish school. 

It is a real privilege to lead two such vibrant communities, and I am thoroughly looking forward to spending time in classrooms, on the playground, and at school events getting to know the school, our wonderful pupils, and all of you - our families. The second half of the autumn term is truly the best time of year to be in a school, and I feel very lucky to be joining you in time to see all the wonderful shows and take part in the festivities. There will be days when I am not physically on-site at De Havilland; however, please be assured that our very capable Senior Leadership Team and teaching staff have everything under control whenever I am at the other school. Everything will continue as normal.  

Please do come and say hello if you see me around the school gates in the morning and I will also be around next week during parent consultations. 

Kind regards,

Mrs Benzal Fowler

Executive Headtecher
