New head joins Hunter Hall

A new headteacher has joined an independent Cumbrian school.

Hunter Hall, in Penrith, has welcomed Paul Borrows to lead the school.

After completing his PGCE at Homerton College, Cambridge, Paul started his teaching career at an international school in Zambia.

When he returned to the UK, he took up a position at an independent day school in Bury St Edmunds. During this time, he completed a masters in education at the University of Cambridge, and also began working with a number of other organisations, including the Royal Institution and the Independent Association of Prep Schools as a maths subject advisor, during which time he organised a number of popular and oversubscribed courses.  

Paul also works with the Independent Schools Examination Board, where he leads the 11+ maths setting team and writes the 13+ mental arithmetic papers.

Prior to joining Hunter Hall, Paul was deputy head at Vinehall School in East Sussex.

He said: “I feel enormously privileged to have been given the opportunity to lead Hunter Hall. Fundamental to the success of every child is the strength of the relationships that the children enjoy with their teachers, and the staff at Hunter Hall are all incredibly dedicated and focused on supporting and encouraging every child as an individual.

“It is wonderful to be joining such a warm and welcoming community, and I am very much looking forward to getting to know the children over the coming days and weeks.” 

Paul has spent most of his life until now in the South East of England, but has been visiting the Lake District from an early age, enjoying walking and climbing holidays in the fells.

His son, George, and daughter, Florence, joined the school ranks this week, while wife, Rachel, has led the first timetabled horticulture class for Hunter Hall students. 

Chair of governors, Natalie Harling added: “We’re delighted to welcome and Paul and his family to Hunter Hall. He takes over a thriving school community with over 100 pupils on the roll.

“With his depth and breadth of experience in school leadership generally, and maths subject specialism in particular, Paul complements the wider staff body beautifully and I look forward to seeing how he will bring that experience to bear on the school and ultimately benefit the children.”
