The Deputy Head, Mrs Anne Wilson, has taught in both the state and independent sectors since qualifying as a teacher in 1978. She is a graduate of Durham University where she specialised in English and Physical Education.

Her career began at Newcastle-upon-Tyne Church High School, teaching girls aged seven to eighteen. Subsequent moves led to her teaching at Manchester High School for Girls, St Joseph’s College Ipswich and Norwich High School for Girls.

She is married with three children and when they were young she took several years away from full-time working but continued in the classroom as a supply teacher until going back, firstly part-time to Solihull School and then full-time at Warwick School.

She worked for 12 years at Warwick Junior School and became a member of the Senior Management Team as Head of Lower School. As a junior school teacher she has taught all the main academic subjects but her main interest has always been teaching English as well as coaching various sports particularly hockey and tennis.

The move to King Henry VIII Junior School as Deputy Head came in January 2006 and with the departure due to promotion of the then Headmaster, she was acting head during the transition year leading to the merger of the Junior School with Coventry Preparatory School. “Being involved from the outset with the new merged school is an exciting prospect and I am greatly looking forward to the future of this new venture as I am sure it will benefit the independent education sector within the City of Coventry and surrounding region.”
