Ben will be joined at Windlesham by his wife Alex and their two boys, aged 5 and 8.

Ben Evans: "Alex and I are very much looking forward to joining the Windlesham community in September 2020. From our first visit to the school, we were struck by the warm and friendly atmosphere, the tremendous opportunities available to pupils and were hugely impressed by everyone we met. We are keen to build on the school's long tradition and outstanding education and be part of its exciting future."

Douglas Moody-Stuart, Chair of Governors: "We very much look forward to welcoming them into the Windlesham community. Ben will bring a wealth of experience, dynamism and leadership to the School to build on Richard's fantastic legacy".

During the next three terms, Ben and Alex will visit Windlesham, while not diminishing their commitment to their final year at Edge Grove. They are very much looking forward to meeting parents, staff and other members of the school community.
