Charlotte Faber

She then achieved her PGCE from London South Bank University in 2008. Charlotte was Headmistress of the prestigious Garden House Girls’ School in London from 2013-2017, where she had worked since 2006.

She is also highly knowledgeable about the range of senior schools in London and the wider UK, having worked closely with many of their Heads and admissions teams.

Charlotte is a Governor at Heathfield School, Ascot, a girl’s 11-18 boarding and day school and at Conifers, Midhurst, a co-ed 3-13 prep school. She remains closely affiliated with IAPS through their mentoring for new heads scheme. She is an education and regulatory advisor for other educational agencies, specifically as a Senior Advisor for RS Academics, a company who specialise in Leadership Appointments for Independent Schools.
