New Deputy Head joins our Feltonfleet community

Back to News
Posted on: April 20th 2018

We are delighted to welcome Ewan Carradine as our new Deputy Head.  Ewan joined the school at the start of the Summer Term, taking over the role from Shelley Lance, who became Feltonfleet’s first ever Headmistress in January 2018.

Ewan graduated from university in Edinburgh, with a BA in Graphic Communications Management, before going on to complete his PGCE in Primary teaching in Dundee and Aberdeen.  He later achieved a Graduate Certificate in Professional Studies in Secondary Mathematics from the University of Brighton.

He brings with him a wealth of experience, having taught for over 18 years and having filled a variety of leadership roles at Primary and Senior School level, both at home (including his native Scotland) and overseas.  Most recently Ewan was a Pastoral Leader at St Richard’s Catholic College in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex.

Ewan is joined by his wife, Catriona, who is also Feltonfleet's new Maths Subject Leader, and by their two children, Isla and Ruaridh, who have quickly made friends in Year 3 and Year 1 respectively.

On taking up his position, Ewan commented, “Visiting Feltonfleet for the first time, I became quickly aware that my personal core beliefs and values parallel exactly with those of Feltonfleet.  The pastoral focus and holistic development of every individual child are of paramount importance to me. I am relishing getting to grips with Prep School life and the multi-faceted day that the children experience.”

An unforgettable trip to Le Château de Chanterelle in France for some of our Year 7 pupils over the past few days. From exploring the local markets, to learning about cheese-making at @lavachedelouvicamp, diving into sea life at @planetenausicaa, indulging in chocolate delights at @chocolatbeussentlachelle, and delving into history at @coupole_france's WWII bunker complex. Education, adventure and memories all in one. #FeltonfleetYear7 #FeltonfleetLanguages #FeltonfleetIdentityAndCulture
