Just before the Summer, Jenny Vaughan, former Abbotsford pupil and OP (Class of 2002), left her position as Registrar at Crackley Hall which she had held for nine years, having worked for the Foundation for 11 years. She was a vital member of the Crackley team and well-loved across the Foundation. Jenny remains in touch with the school and her friends in the Foundation, and recently gave us the following update on her adventures:

"After an incredible 11 years working for the Princethorpe Foundation, I have now started a new chapter and joined the team at AEGIS – Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students – as their School Membership and Marketing Manager.

I have spent my first few months getting to grips with the role and meeting our member schools, both online and in person. It has been a great opportunity to travel around the country, visit some wonderful schools and learn more about the work they do to support their international students.

Having spent so many years at Crackley Hall, it has been a big change, but I have really enjoyed the opportunity to take on a new challenge and learn more about an area of independent education that is so important.

I’m particularly excited to be representing AEGIS at my first conference in November, where I’ll be contributing to AEGIS’s mission of setting the gold standard for safeguarding and education guardianship in the UK.

It’s been an exciting few months so far and I’m looking forward to seeing where this new chapter takes me. Here’s to new challenges, growth and plenty more learning along the way!"

We wish Jenny every success and happiness in her new role, and look forward to seeing her at many OP events in future as a valued former member of staff and OP!
