Head's Welcome

Hello.  My name is Linda Kiernan. 

I´ve recently joined Dallington School and am looking forward to helping it on its way into a bright and exciting future. I´ve been the Head of a number of primary schools in London for 30 years, and joining Dallington is, in a sense, like coming home. I have lived in the Barbican during all of that time and Clerkenwell is my neighbourhood. 

I´m passionate about helping young minds blossom and flourish; helping young people see their true potential, and become independent and inquisitive learners, which will set them up for the rest of their school lives and the challenges beyond. 

I am a classicist by training and love immersing myself in fine art, music, history, languages and travel and I´m a voracious reader.

You´ll recognise me by my bright clothing and extravagant jewellery, and I´m frequently out and about on my bicycle! 

I am so proud to be part of this extraordinary school and look forward to welcoming you on our journey. 

Best wishes, 

Linda
