We are pleased to announce the appointment of Christopher Haynes to the role of Redmaids’ High Junior School Deputy Head with effect from September 2021.

Mr Haynes joins us from Oliver House School in London, where he has held the position of Deputy Head for the last five years.

Having studied mathematics at university, Mr Haynes started his career in finance, but changed direction having volunteered at a summer camp for disadvantaged children. 

His professional interests include mathematical pedagogy, leadership and school improvement and he is currently studying part-time for a master’s degree in educational leadership at Cambridge University. Outside of work he enjoys travel, scuba diving, running, cycling and country walking. 

“I am delighted to be moving to Bristol to take up this position,” said Mr Haynes. “I am passionate about education and look forward to playing my part in seeing every pupil at Redmaids’ High Junior School thrive.” 

Speaking of this appointment, Lisa Brown, Headteacher at Redmaids’ High Juniors said, “Christopher has a wealth of experience of working closely with pupils and parents to provide academic excellence and outstanding pastoral support, which makes him an excellent fit for our school.”  

Mr Haynes will be replacing Maggie Edbrooke who is retiring after 35 years at the Junior School.
