Hasmonean Girls School announces new headteacher
Katie Brice, the current deputy head at City of London School for Girls, will take over at the MIll Hill Jewish school in January
Hasmonean Girls’ School in Mill Hill has announced the appointment of a new headteacher who will take up the post in January, after former head Rachel Fink was named as the new JFS headteacher in December.
Governors this week welcomed Kate Brice, an author who is currently deputy head at City of London School for Girls, having previously taught History at Aylesbury High School and at The Haberdashers’ Aske’s School.
Chair of Governors Marc Meyer said Brice “has the skills, experience and personal qualities to lead the girls’ school into its next phase of development,” while paying tribute to Fink’s “excellent stewardship”.
Hasmonean’s executive headteacher Andrew McClusky used the opportunity to announce a “transformational” shake-up of the two-site school’s leadership set-up.
“In addition to this excellent appointment, we are working on a new leadership structure to strengthen the leadership capacity and teaching of Kodesh to ensure that this area is stronger than ever next year,” he said. “Further details will be released in due course.”
Brice has published three books in her field, including ‘History: Years of Renewal,’ ‘The Early Stuarts and The English Revolution’ and ‘The Three Henrys: a novel.’

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
