Katherine Bennett speaks to the team now running the Marist School near Ascot in the UK.
I recently visited the Marist School, near Ascot in the UK. Established in its present form by the Marist Sisters in 1947, it is now also the flagship establishment for the new schools network “Concept Education” (CE). I sat down for a chat with its CEO, Hugh Dickinson, and the Marist’s principal, Jo Smith.
The meeting was all you might imagine: promotional material, a glowing ISI report which rated the school as “excellent” in all areas, fine bone china and some top-notch biscuits all placed within comfortable reach as we talked about the opportunities for Marist girls, of which there are plenty.
