We are delighted to be welcoming our 7th Principal to Westholme in September, Mr Paul Taylor.

Mr Taylor shone out above all other candidates in our rigorous recruitment process, and demonstrates all the skills, experience and qualities to build upon the progress that Westholme has made over the last 100 years. We are very much looking forward to welcoming him for the start of the next academic year.

Mr Taylor is currently serving as Head of the prestigious Kings’ School in Dubai. His previous Headship was at Fulneck School, in West Yorkshire. He has 14 years in total of Senior Leadership in the Independent School sector, and was also a student at St Peter’s York.

After leaving school, Mr Taylor studied Politics at Durham University and secured a Fulbright Scholarship. He is a keen sportsman and continues to pursue his passion for politics and history.

We’re sure you will join us in welcoming Mr Taylor as we now look forward to another exciting chapter in Westholme’s history.
