Profile of Kilgraston School’s Head teacher, Dorothy MacGinty
This month’s Independent Schools Magazine has profiled Kilgraston School’s very own Mrs MacGinty (p24-26).
Not withholding any punches, questions probe the School’s mobile phone policy, environmental learning, hybrid exam systems and inspiration to enter the profession (her mum) with the mantra: “Children have one chance at education and it needs to be as good as it possibly can be.”
Of course, retirement is on the horizon, with golf high on the priority list: “I thought when I came back to Scotland seven years ago, I would have the opportunity to play some of the country’s magnificent courses and my handicap would reduce - how wrong I was. Leading a boarding school - as all boarding Heads will know - doesn’t allow for four hours’ on the course at the weekend!”
We wish Mrs MacGinty every success on the fairway; the full profile, together with announcement of in-coming Head teacher, Tanya Davie (p46), being available here.
