What People Say
I had the pleasure of working under Paul Penfold during my time at BCIS, where he served as Head of School. Paul brought a strong balance of professionalism, energy, and genuine care to the role, creating an environment where both staff and students were encouraged to grow and succeed. What stood out to me most was his forward-thinking mindset and genuine enthusiasm for innovation, particularly around the wider impact and potential of AI. Combined with his approachable leadership style, this created a culture that felt both ambitious and supportive.
Paul possesses a rare ability to immediately recognise the strengths, value, and potential within people. He has an exceptional instinct for understanding where individuals will thrive within a school environment and creates opportunities that allow both staff and students to flourish. His leadership style is deeply people-centred, combining professionalism with genuine care, empathy, and encouragement. He leads with both heart and purpose, creating environments where people feel supported, motivated, and inspired to contribute meaningfully.
