Prince’s Mead Appoints New Chair of Governors

Prince’s Mead School in Kings Worthy has appointed, Winchester born and bred, Chris Lowe to take over the Chair of Governors role from January 2025.

Commenting on the appointment, Chris said:

“I am honoured to take on this new role at such an enriching and forward-thinking school. Prince’s Mead has a reputation for nurturing well-rounded, confident children who go on to excel in all areas of life. I look forward to working with my fellow governors and the exceptional leadership team to support the school’s vision and ongoing success.”

Chris and his family have a long history in Winchester – most notably his grandparents ran The Railway Inn on St Paul’s Hill for 30 years. He and his wife educated all three of their daughters at Prince’s Mead. Chris first joined the Governing Board in 2019 and is passionate about the school’s ethos of providing every child with the opportunity to flourish.

Head of Prince’s Mead, Adam King, added:

“We are looking forward to Chris becoming our new Chair of Governors. His expertise and passion for education will undoubtedly add great value to our school community and its future development. I have every confidence that he will help us to continue to foster an environment where our pupils and staff will thrive.”

Chris succeeds Mel Renwick who has served as Chair of the Governors since 2019 and has helped to guide the school through a period of growth and transformation including an extension to the Grade II listed Worthy Park House, the adoption of a Pre-Senior Baccalaureate programme of study, the opening of the School’s Nursery and achieving excellence at the school’s last ISI Inspection.
