Yasmin Maskatiya

Ms Yasmin MaskatiyaDear Parent/Carer

It is with a combination of pride and sadness that we are writing to inform you that Ms Yasmin Maskatiya is leaving Chichester High School in December to take on a national role.

Ms Maskatiya has decided to leave Headship to become one of Her Majesty’s Inspectors of Schools, a role that will enable her to influence educational standards nationally.  We are immensely grateful for the transformational and inspirational contribution that Ms Maskatiya has made at the High School.  She led the girls’ school to outstanding and ensured the smooth and successful merger of the two high schools. She is admired and respected across TKAT. The Trust owes Ms Maskatiya a significant debt of gratitude for her achievements at the High School, in other TKAT coast schools and across TKAT as a whole. Not only has she influenced schools across TKAT but she has also made a significant impact on other schools in West Sussex.  All at TKAT wish her every happiness and success for the future.

We are sure that staff, pupils and parents will be pleased to know that Mrs Joanne McKeown has, following a selection process, been appointed as full time, substantive permanent Headteacher of the school.

In her current role as Head of School, Mrs McKeown, as well as having day-to-day responsibility for leading the school, has had substantial experience acting as Headteacher when Ms Maskatiya has fulfilled her executive role across TKAT. The Governors and TKAT have every confidence that Mrs McKeown will be able to build on the school’s successes.  As well as being a highly skilled and dedicated leader in her own right, Mrs McKeown has worked closely alongside Ms Maskatiya for a number of years and played an active role in the girls’ school journey to outstanding and the subsequent successful merger. 

There will be formal opportunities to thank Ms Maskatiya but I am sure you will join us in congratulating her and wishing her well in her new role.  In Mrs McKeown, we have an able successor who has been preparing for this role for a number of years. We look forward to the continued success of all those associated with Chichester High School.

Yours faithfully

Peter Waters                                                     Elizabeth Harrison
