Dear Old Millhillians,

It is a time-honoured voluntary tradition that the Old Millhillian community funds a portrait of a departing Head. The portrait is displayed at the School.

Jane Sanchez is stepping down this year after five years as Head of Mill Hill School and 20 illustrious years with the Foundation.

I am sure all OMs appreciate the contribution Jane has made to the amazing progress of Mill Hill School during her tenure – especially those younger OMs who were at school at some stage in the last 20 years.

She became Head at a sensitive time, to say the least, and quickly reassured parents, pupils, staff, Governors and OMs that she knew what needed fixing and was the one who knew how to fix it. Which she did.

Today the school is full and the waiting list of prospective parents long and eager. Closer to home, Jane has rebuilt the relations between the school and the Club, such that they have never been stronger.
