Clemmie Stewart

Executive Principal

I am an experienced school leader and was Chatsworth Schools’ Director of Learning and Teaching both in the UK and internationally from 2021 until July 2023. In August 2023, I joined Beech Hall School Riyadh as Executive Principal, Beech Hall School Riyadh being Chatsworth Schools’ international division, Blenheim Schools’ first international school.

During my time at Chatsworth Schools, alongside CEO Anita Gleave, I devised The Chatsworth Tapestry, Chatsworth Schools’ unique curriculum overlay that ensures every child develops in six key areas including developing a lifelong learning mindset, being digitally literate and becoming a global citizen. I am committed to research-based innovation in education alongside tested traditional pedagogy and am passionate about developing young people and staff alike.

When not at work, I love to explore Riyadh with my husband Brian, and our dog Crumb!

I have been an educator for 17 years and have held middle and senior leadership roles in the UK and internationally, in the Middle East, China and Central Asia. International education has provided me and my family with so many wonderful experiences and opportunities, and I can honestly say that becoming a part of the team at Beech Hall School, Riyadh, is the most exciting of all.

I truly believe in fully inclusive education, championing equal educational opportunities for all students and striving to provide the very best in experiences and outcomes for all students. As someone who comes from a very humble background, I know how transformative education can be, and the difference it can make in people’s lives. I want to ensure that each student at Beech Hall School, Riyadh, will have the very best opportunities and support to achieve the very best that they can.

When not at school, I enjoy running and most sports, both playing and watching, as well as travelling to, and exploring ancient and historical sites, and am very much looking forward to all that Riyadh and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has to offer in these areas.

I pursued my passion for numbers by obtaining a master’s degree in finance and accounting. Working in both profit and non-profit organisations has enabled me to gain an in-depth understanding and knowledge of Finance and Business operations.

My careers’ start as a teacher in a higher educational institute has allowed me to be conscious of both the administrative and academic sides that make up educational institutions.

My motivations have led me to Beech Hall International School, which is currently at an exciting and unique moment of development, and I am honoured to have the opportunity to mould and establish the financial and operational element of the school. Moreover, I find myself fortunate to immerse myself into the bright and growing community made up of the staff, students, and parents of Beech Hall.

Having worked in various countries such as: India, New Zealand, UAE and Saudi Arabia, I have grown to understand the significance of cultural values and the importance of a diverse community which is vital for the development of children.

I am blessed with a supportive husband and two grown-up children. I enjoy spending lots of quality time with them and believe in striking a healthy balance between work and family.
