Andrew Penman is going to take over the helm as headteacher at the Five Islands’ School. Mr Penman is currently the deputy headteacher at West of England School for the Blind in Exeter. He headed 21 applicants and 3 interviewees.
The Five Islands’ School is still under ‘special measures’.
Mr Guthrie, one of the governers who was present at the interviews, expressed to ThisIsCornwall his enthusiasm and approval of the new appointment that, it is hoped, will conclude a difficult period - and take the school into calmer waters.
