Welcome from the Head
At Pipers, there is no such thing as a typical ‘Pipers’ girl. All members of staff support the students to fulfil
their academic and personal potential, enabling them to emerge as mature, confident and independent
young adults. Investment in talented and inspirational teaching staff and professional support staff is at the
heart of our success, and our recent academic results and overall performance bear testament to this.

Every member of the Pipers community, both academic and support staff, play a vital role in maintaining
the excellent standard of education we provide. Underpinning everything that we do is a team of
enthusiastic and determined staff, with a willingness to think outside of the box.

Personal development is always encouraged and supported, and well-being is at the forefront for staff as
much as students.

I am incredibly proud of the Pipers community and it is a privilege to work alongside such talented staff and
positive students.
