Ex-Carisbrooke Head To Take Over At Sandown Bay Academy

Shaheen Khan-Jones, who resigned as head of Carisbrooke College in a surprise move in March earlier this year, has today been announced as the new Interim Principal for the next academic year at Sandown Bay Academy.

John Bradshaw, who was the head of Sandown Bay Academy and its previous guise as the high school, is to become an educational consultant.

The Academy’s governing body wished him well while paying tribute to the Mr Bradshaw’s work, picking out the transition from school to Academy in what they described as an “inevitably difficult first year.”

Strange…..when she left Carisbrooke at the end of April it was to ‘return to the mainland to be closer to her family and work in a city environment.’

I for one, wish Mrs Khan-Jones all the best. She tried her best at Carisbrooke, and was given very little time. I happen to know she’s missed by many at the school.

Some years ago, I used to look at this school and think “Yeah, that’s a great place for education.”

The students wouldn’t dare cross any of the teachers, and now…
I mean, what happened? Did their balls drop off?
