Broomfield School appoints a new Headteacher for September 2022
The Board of Governors of Broomfield School is delighted to announce the appointment of Adele Christofi as our new Headteacher. Adele will lead the school from September 2022, taking over from Cate Seymour who has been Interim Headteacher for the past year.
Adele joins Broomfield following 12 years at Holy Family Catholic School in Walthamstow, in role as Head of the Upper School. Prior to that, she was at Queen Elizabeth’s Girls’ School in Barnet, where she was a Head of Year and Acting Assistant Head Teacher.
Adele joins us with a background of drama teaching. She studied at the prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, which has trained the likes of Laurence Olivier and Dame Judi Dench. Whilst at Central she completed a degree in Drama and Education, followed by a PGCE in Drama. Most recently, she has also completed the National Professional Qualification for Headship alongside the Institute of Education.
The Chair of the Board of Governors, Prof. Gregory Thwaites, began the recruitment process in December 2021, intent on finding a candidate with the requisite qualities to maintain, and
build upon, the educational standards already in place at the school.
“Adele impressed us all throughout the process with her vision, warmth, experience, attention to detail and passion for comprehensive education” said Mr Thwaites. “This is a new step on Broomfield’s journey of continual improvement.”
“I’m really excited for Ms Christofi to be our headteacher from September. Broomfield is a great school with lots of opportunities for me to excel both in the classroom and in our school community.” Year 10 student
“I joined Broomfield in September 2021 and I have already been involved in lots of sports clubs, music clubs, law society, debating society and the school production of Matilda. I am also a Broomfield Ambassador which means I get to go back to my primary school and talk about the move from primary to secondary school” Year 7 student
From Ms Christofi:
At Broomfield School we are committed to all students having a quality education that is underpinned by an ambitious academic curriculum and is supported by a range of personal enrichment and super curricular opportunities, with our overall aim to develop well rounded young adults, ready to tackle the world.
This is achieved through our 4 key areas:
