Mr Barney Rimmer

30th August 18

Wisbech Grammar Barney 2

I was appointed Head of Wisbech Grammar School in September 2022, after I joined the School in September 2021 as Deputy Head Academic. Returning to the School where I was once a pupil, felt like I had come full circle!

This was my first appointment in an Independent School, having worked more than 22 years in State Schools where I gained Senior Leadership experience in different areas, including leading curriculum, teaching and learning, pastoral care and safeguarding. I have been fortunate enough to have experience in both senior and primary education; the last position I held was Executive Principal across 2 Norfolk primary schools.

My philosophy is to engage the whole school community, enable all to work together, across all areas of the School, to provide enhanced opportunities for every one of our pupils. I have a firm belief in celebrating both academic excellence and academic endeavour and to continue to develop this philosophy for everybody at Wisbech Grammar School.

Outside school, aside my role as family taxi driver to the various clubs my children attend, I enjoy many sports, in particular, playing touch rugby both locally and nationally.
