Rushen Primary School has announced the appointment of Adryon Herman as its new head of school. This decision follows the recent hiring of a full-time executive head teacher, Simon Murphy, who has been leading the school alongside his responsibilities at Scoill Phurt le Moirrey. The role was advertised with a salary range of £77,513 to £89,583.
Herman, who previously served as a teacher at Rushen, has also been managing the school’s Special Provision Centre. Her leadership skills have been recognized by Murphy, who stated, “I have been consistently impressed by her leadership over the past 18 months and very much look forward to continuing to work alongside her in this new role.”
In November, Murphy was appointed as the executive head teacher of Rushen Primary and has taken on the role at Scoill Phurt le Moirrey simultaneously. Following his appointment, he emphasized the importance of establishing a permanent head of school, a process that has now culminated in Herman’s selection.
This leadership change is set to enhance the educational environment at Rushen Primary, ensuring continuity and a focus on the needs of the students. Herman’s extensive experience within the school community positions her well to lead and implement strategic initiatives moving forward.
With education being a priority on the Isle of Man, this appointment reflects a commitment to fostering effective leadership within local schools. As Herman steps into her new role, the school community looks forward to her vision for advancing academic excellence and support for all students.
