Farewell and thank you Mrs Cotttell

Posted: 17th July 2025

Mrs Alexandra Cottell has concluded her time as head teacher at St Christopher's Prep School and Nursery

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks and best wishes to Mrs Alexandra Cottell, who has concluded her time as head teacher. Mrs Cottell is moving with her young family to London to join her husband Ben, who serves in the Royal Navy. We are incredibly grateful for her dedicated leadership and the hugely positive impact she has had on our school. We’ll miss her so much.

Looking ahead, we are thrilled to officially welcome Carl Shuttleworth as our new Head Master! We are very excited for this next chapter at St Christopher’s and look forward to the fresh perspective he will bring.
