As you know, in September 2022 I am moving to the Falkland Islands to take up the post of Director of Education for the next four years.

Working in the Falkland Islands has been a long held ambition of mine, since visiting twice whilst I worked for Chichester College. After 9 fulfilling years at City College Southampton as its Principal, I was astonished to see the post of Director of Education in the Falkland Islands advertised just as I’d decided to start looking for a new role. I applied and was delighted to be appointed..

And now today is the day (well very early Monday am) I fly down to Stanley to start. My house is packed up, I’ve had a major declutter and I’ve shipped those things I can’t live without. I’ve said goodbye and promised to keep in touch while I’m in the South.

So, this blog will be a way of sharing with you life in the Falklands and the South Atlantic every now and then. Keep watching!
