A new headteacher has been appointed to lead William Howard School in Brampton.
The school announced that Kath Pigdon has been appointed to the permanent position.
She moved to the school, now part of Cumbria Education Trust in 2009 as an assistant headteacher and was promoted to deputy headteacher in 2014.
She has most recently undertaken the role of headteacher on an interim basis.
Des Bird, the trust’s director of secondary improvement, said: “We are confident that under Kath’s leadership, William Howard School will continue to thrive, providing an enriching educational experience for our students.
“She is committed to maintaining open lines of communication with both parents and students and has already introduced a range of opportunities to collaborate with all stakeholders to ensure the success of every student.”
Ms Pigdon said: “I am both excited and honoured to continue as headteacher of William Howard School.
“As headteacher, I remain fully committed to ensuring our students receive the best educational experience during their time here.”
