Dear Parents and Carers,
I am writing to inform you of an important leadership change at The Ellesmere Port Church of England College.
From September, Mr Paul Masher will take up the role of Executive Headteacher at the College. Mr Masher is currently Headteacher of our sister school, Birches Head Academy, where he has played a significant role in driving school improvement and supporting the academy’s successful development journey. As an experienced leader within The Frank Field Education Trust, he has a strong understanding of our values, expectations and ways of working, ensuring continuity and stability for our school community.
In his new role, Mr Masher will work across both schools, providing strategic leadership and helping to guide The Ellesmere Port Church of England College through the next stage of its development.
Mr Masher will be supported by Mr Stephen Murphy, who will join the College as Head of School. Many families will already know Mr Murphy from his previous time as a member of the College’s leadership team. Since then, he has gained further leadership experience within a trust in Liverpool and brings valuable expertise back to our school.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Ms Phillips for her hard work, commitment and dedication during this academic year. From September, she will return to her role within the Trust’s central team, and we wish her every success in the future.
We are excited about the opportunities these appointments will bring and look forward to continuing to work together to provide the very best education and support for all our students.
