A tribute to Karen Pomeroy from the PGHS Senior Leadership Team
Since her arrival as Headteacher in September 2011, Karen has transformed both our school and the lives of countless young women, through her inspiring and visionary leadership.
Karen has maintained a relentless and uncompromising focus on teaching and learning, working tirelessly to ensure that our girls receive world-class teaching in a first-class learning environment. Within three years of her arrival the school was judged to be Outstanding by Ofsted, and it is surely fitting that after nearly a decade of strong GCSE outcomes, this year’s exceptional examination results ranked us as one of the top-performing school’s both locally and nationally.
Of course, Karen’s legacy is about far more than results. The school we work in today is a testament to her vision and ambition, and it is thanks to Karen’s persistence and dogged determination that we can look forward to moving into a brand-new school. The broad and varied curriculum that we offer today has been shaped by Karen’s investment in the school facilities, with GCSE Drama and Photography being just two of the courses that have been introduced during Karen’s tenure.
From our point of view, Karen’s legacy will be the impact she has had on all of us. We’ve been absolutely privileged to work alongside from Karen. Our careers have been carefully nurtured under Karen’s leadership, and we have all benefited from Karen’s wise counsel. We will miss her creativity, innovation and decisiveness, but mostly we will miss her sense of humour and her friendship.
Karenreally is a PGHSuccess.
