Meet the Staff
Jane Perkins, School Principal
Hello everyone, I’m Jane the School Principal down here in sunny Brighton. I’ve been working at the school for about 18 months now, and we have a fantastic team who are all looking forward to welcoming you to our school. We’re located right in the heart of the city, just a few minutes for the sea, and surrounded by lots of cafes, restaurants and shops. Before coming here I lived and worked in Spain, Poland and China as well as in other places in the UK – as a teacher, IELTS, FCE and CAE examiner, Director of Studies, and Principal. Hope to see you soon!
Chris Stocking, Director of Studies
Hi, my name is Chris and I’m the Director of Studies at our Brighton school – the brightest, liveliest place in the UK. I started at the school in 2010 as a senior teacher and moved up to Director of Studies 3 years later. Prior to this, I’d been travelling and teaching across the Americas – from the north of Canada down to the south of Argentina. All told, I was away from England for about 7.5 years. Since I returned to England, I have obtained a first class Masters Degree in Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching from the University of Sussex; have had the fortune of working with an exceptional team of teachers; and have captained the school’s football team to tournament glory (the trophy is proudly presented in the student room). I adore meeting people from all corners of the world and I look forward very much to welcoming you to the UK and our school in Brighton.
Stephanie Rowsell, Senior School Adminsitrator
Hi, I’m Steph I’m the Senior School Administrator. I’ve worked here since 2008, and at the Brighton School since 2012. I’m originally from the middle of England (Northamptonshire) and studied drama at University in London, so I have a good knowledge of many parts of the UK! I love working at the Brighton school as our team are like a big family! In my spare time I’m an actress, so I’m not shy, which means you can always come and speak to me if you fancy it. I can help you with any aspect of your stay – from your course, your accommodation or your visa to where to buy a nice pair of shoes in Brighton!
Terrie Mountford, Accommodations Manager
Hi, I’m Terrie and I’m the Accommodation Manager. I have worked here for over 8 years and love placing students with families. The most lovely part of my day is interacting with students and hearing all about their host families and their lives at home. I’ve lived in Brighton all my life, and have worked previously at other language schools as Accommodation Manager which means I have a great relationship with students and hosts. I have three sons and my husband is in a Beatles Tribute band! I’m a Tottenham fan so if you’re into football let me know!
