We are all deeply saddened to have to tell you that our Governor, Christine Leslie, has passed away after succumbing to a short illness. Christine was very much part of Fine Arts College for than more than 15 years. When we met, she had already had a long and distinguished career in education as a headteacher, an ISI inspector, and an independent education consultant. Christine played a significant role on our scholarship panel and her input was always sensitive and perceptive. She also gave invaluable advice to our younger and more fragile students. When we became part of Dukes Education in 2015, we were delighted that Christine was appointed our Governor. She used her wealth of experience and wisdom to help us guide and nurture all our students. She was a great personal friend and will be very much missed by everyone at Fine Arts.
