Sarah Hobby

Head of Primary

I am delighted to be joining Beech Hall School Riyadh as Head of Primary. With over four years’ experience within the Chatsworth group of schools, I have a deep-seated belief in the power of an inclusive and innovative education to transform lives, ensuring that children are not just heard but central in their educational journey. 

I believe it is important to cultivate an environment where each child’s potential is realised and exceeded.  Alongside the Beech Hall School Riyadh team, I look forward to guiding the pupils towards their aspirations, whilst nurturing their curiosity, courage and passion along the way.

My husband and I will be relocating to Riyadh over the summer and drawing upon our previous experience of setting up a thriving school in Malaysia. I eagerly anticipate getting to know the amazing community of children, staff and parents at Beech Hall School.
