The new headteacher of Chichester High School has said she wants to help students become '˜citizens of the world'.

He said: “As well as being a highly skilled and dedicated leader in her own right, Mrs McKeown has worked closely alongside Ms Maskatiya for a number of years and played an active role in the girls’ school journey to outstanding and the subsequent successful merger.”

Mrs McKeown said she was ‘thrilled’ to be leading the school and determined to continue its success.
