Beachborough will be Christian’s fourth headship.

He has also worked internationally as Head of The British School in Amsterdam and before that as Head of the Junior School at Taipei
European School.
With a background in Computer Science, Christian has a keen interest in technology but most importantly, he impressed the Governors with his understanding of the Beachborough ethos of the education of the whole child. He is passionate about the critical journey children take to prepare themselves for life.
In Christian, we believe we have found an inspiring leader who brings enthusiasm, energy, vision, and a commitment to the holistic approach to teaching and learning. We believe he will uphold and enhance Beachborough’s inclusive ethos and reputation for excellence in the preparatory sector, ensuring that all our pupils and staff achieve their full potential.
On his appointment, Christian said:
“I am delighted and honoured to have been appointed as the next Head of Beachborough. It is a remarkable school with a very exciting future. The school’s commitment to happiness and success is one that I very much share, and it is a privilege to be invited to lead the School in the next phase of its development. I look forward to getting to know the school’s staff, parents, friends and alumni – and above all its pupils.”
