St Swithun’s School in Winchester is delighted to announce the appointment of Shelly Say as the new Head of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in the Prep School.
Shelly will join the school in the Summer Term, overseeing the Preschool and Reception classes, as well as leading the Early Years staff team. She will also be part of the Prep School’s Senior Leadership Team.
St Swithun’s Prep is a leading independent school on the outskirts of Winchester, welcoming girls and boys aged 3+ into preschool and girls from reception age upwards.

Talking about the appointment Liz Norris, Head of St Swithun’s Prep said, “We are thrilled to welcome Shelly to the St Swithun’s community. She brings a wealth of Early Years’ experience to the school, and I know the parents and children will love getting to know her. We are passionate about giving our students the very best start to their educational journey. I have no doubt that Shelly will help ensure our youngest students will have exactly that whilst also making their time here full of adventure and fun.”
Shelly Say added, “I am absolutely delighted to be joining the St Swithun’s family as Head of Early Years. I am passionate about creating nurturing and inspiring environments where children can flourish and develop a lifelong love of learning. I look forward to working closely with the dedicated team, parents, and, most importantly, the wonderful children at St Swithun’s Prep. Together, we’ll ensure their first steps in education are filled with joy, curiosity, and adventure.”
