She will now spend her retirement renovating her home in East Sussex and spending time with family and friends.

Now, with 2017 upon us, Mrs Rachel Nunns has taken up her post as Castlewood’s new headteacher.

The school’s head boy Sam Clark, and head girl Saffie Evershed, welcomed Mrs Nunns to school on her first morning. She came to Castlewood School from Pound Hill Junior School, in Crawley, where she was deputy head.

Mrs Nunns said: "I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone here and to working closely with them.”
